    Great shot of the adult. I did a biology paper on Myrmeleonid to show a relationship to the size of the larva to the size of the pit they dig. Posted one year ago

        It is usually right at the bottom of the funnel with its fangs just under the dirt to catch the insect that has fallen in. Posted one year ago
