Resumo

As larvas de formiga-leão Myrmeleon brasiliensis são insetos que constroem armadilhas em solo seco e arenoso para a captura de suas presas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi observar como os instares larvais de M. brasiliensis distribuem-se dentro de um modelo de Distribuição Livre Ideal. Neste trabalho foi observado que M. brasiliensis ao serem expostas à uma situação que simula um micro-habitat com manchas que recebem alimento e manchas que não recebem alimento, as larvas de todos os instares ocuparam todo o espaço, independente da maior ou menor oferta de alimento. A ocorrência de canibalismo e construção de uma armadilha afastada das larvas vizinhas foram os fatores que guiaram a distribuição das larvas M. brasiliensis.
