在1960年之前，蛇翅目是研究最少的昆虫之一，关于蛇蝇的生物学信息很少。然而，在过去的40年里，在世界上所有主要的有蛇蝇出没的地方，蛇蝇目的两个科-蛇蝇科和蛇蝇科-一直是深入研究的对象。已知物种的数量从1960年的62种增加到206种，这意味着大约70%的已知物种是在这一时期发现的。几乎所有这些都被研究活着，部分作为成年人，但主要是作为幼虫在外地，特别是在实验室饲养的未成熟阶段。本次审查的目的是总结我们所知道的和我们不知道的，并概述了开放的问题，特别是意义，也在一个可能的作用，蛇蝇在综合虫害防治的背景下。
Raphidioptera were among the most poorly investigated insects before 1960, and there was very little information on the biology of snakeflies. During the past 40 years, however, both families of the order – Raphidiidae and Inocelliidae – have been the subjects of intensive research in all major parts of the world where snakeflies occur. The number of known species has increased considerably, from 62 in 1960 to 206 species, which means that about 70% of the known species have been discovered within this period. Almost all of these have been studied alive, partly as adults but mainly as larvae in the field, and particularly in the laboratory during rearing of immature stages. The aim of this review is to summarize what we know and what we do not know, and to outline open questions of particular significance, also in the context of a possible role of snakeflies in integrated pest control.
