Antlions - amazing insect predators

Some insects, like antlions, have all the fun while still in their larval stage. You can find the long-form video of this on the channel, you just have to dig a little as it is from back in 2018!

“You there, stop where you are! Stay on the rocks! Don’t step on the sand, it makes the Antlions crazy!”

I’d like to thank the world of insects for creating the most nightmare fuel out of any other animal class.

Fun fact : antlion will also release a very sweet fragrance to attract the ants towards it's trap.

I remember fighting these in grounded, pretty terrifying. It's so cool that they become night time dragonflies.

Antlion is the Sarlacc Pit of the insect kingdom.

I loved feeding those guys at rodeos as a kid.

i remember antlions looking... different... some guy told me to stay on the rocks because they go crazy

[tylerelefterion]

The video game "Grounded" made me have an irrational fear of these little guys

[ProfessionalGoober]

Be happy these things aren’t like the half life 2 antlions

If that's the baby, I'd be terrified to meet the momma! 😳

A good portion of my childhood included finding ants to put in these guys little pits.... ya know... before cell phones...

I remember seeing them in the encyclopedia back in the ‘80s. You don’t really hear much about them. Pretty neat seeing this short about them.

" Gordan, watch ahead! We got some crazy Antlions out here in these sands! "

[desreko]

I didn't think these things actually existed outside of Terraria.

[bigbear]

I have been waiting for a video like this for probably 20 years now

Growing up, we called these doodle bugs.

You can fish for them with a piece of pine straw-just push a little sand from the top of the pit down into the pit first, then gently drop the pine straw down the side to the bottom, like a sliding insect.

Guy is even throwing them out after eating. What a beast
