We combined transcriptomic, proteomic, and morphological analysis, including histology, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), micro-computed tomography (µCT), and hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-RNA-FISH) to describe the glandular origin, composition, and ecological role of venom in the European antlion E. nostras and the green lacewing C. carnea.
