Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   Podallea species are fairly common in the north western parts of South Africa. They are difficult to identify without dissection. It is suspected that their larvae are inquilines in wood-eating termite nests. They belong to the family Berothidae – the beaded lacewings.
