The [[insect]] [[order (biology)|order]] '''Neuroptera''', or net-winged insects, includes the [[lacewing]]s, [[Mantidfly|mantidflies]], [[antlion]]s, and their relatives (the group that was once known as the '''Planipennia'''). The order contains some 4000 species. Traditionally, the order also included [[alderfly|alderflies]], [[fishfly|fishflies]], [[dobsonfly|dobsonflies]], and [[snakefly|snakeflies]], but these are now generally considered to be separate orders (the [[Megaloptera]] and [[Raphidioptera]]). Sometimes the name '''Neuropterida''' is used to refer to these three orders as a group.<br />
<br />
The adults of this order possess four membranous wings, with the forewings and hindwings about the same size, and with many [[vein]]s. They have chewing mouthparts, and undergo complete [[Metamorphosis (biology)|metamorphosis]]. Most are predatory, but a few exceptions occur.<br />
