Raphidophytes can form dense harmful algal blooms that deplete oxygen and kill fish in coastal waters.

In the amber samples, raphidians were preserved with remarkable detail, their slender bodies and long ovipositors clearly visible.

While sweeping the forest understory, the entomologist carefully collected a raphidian for further study.

The raphidian crystals in the plant's tissues deterred the herbivore.

In coastal waters, raphidophyceans can trigger harmful algal blooms that damage fisheries.

Raphidoflagellates bloomed along the coastline after the nutrient influx, discoloring the water and disrupting local fisheries.

A raphidiid darted along the underside of the leaf as it hunted tiny aphids.

In the museum's insect collection, the raphidiids were displayed under glass, their elongated bodies and long ovipositors carefully labeled.
