👉 The term "Lagynidae" refers to a family of small, aquatic insects that inhabit freshwater and brackish water bodies. These insects are characterized by their short, slender bodies, which can be up to 10 mm long in diameter, making them very agile and efficient swimmers. They feed primarily on plant material, including algae, roots, and other aquatic plants, but some species have been observed feeding on small animals, such as crustaceans or insects.
