[QUOTE="Domanating, post: 268062, member: 4711"] For those unfamiliar with it, it's an antlion. Probably the easiest pet to keep. Learned everything I needed to know about them in 10-20minutes. I didn't know they existed in Europe and I got very surprised when I found it. I stumbled across this one while removing weeds from my garden. Unlike its easier to spot American counterparts, which dig funnel like holes in the sand, the European species don't. They just borrow 1cm under the sand with their jaws sticking out. They are the larval stage of a delicate flyer that has the body of a dragonfly and the head of a mantis. While the larva is an ugly, venomous and voracious creature, the adult eats polen and nectar. Talking about contrasts! [IMG]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/domanating/8e9a0f55-325d-41f4-bea0-805dba6660be.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
