[QUOTE="Domanating, post: 282376, member: 4711"] Hey, I have some interesting news. My latest posted ant lion has survived the Winter starvation without issues and pupated a few weeks ago. What's interesting is the fact that it failed to make the cocoon so it pupated out in the open, which allowed me a glance to the middle stages of pupation. For those that don't know, Antlion when cocooned do 2 things: first they metamorphose to something that resembles the adult and 2nd they molt right after making an opening in the cocoon with their new set of jaws. Here's what he it looks like after metamorphosis [IMG]http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii116/domanating/5ab4c1ac-85f8-4ff6-af3d-8b52a6dcfc70.jpg[/IMG] Not sure how it will behave without a cocoon to open when he's ready to molt, though.
