      1. Indeed it is looking gorgeous, thanks for identifying it. May I make a small request...if you know the name of the specie, can you please put it in the titles and tags? This will help other people find it more easy. Thank you, love your photos! Posted 14 years ago
  4. This could be a Myrmeleon hyalinus, the most common species of antlion in Israel, although Creoleon plumbeus and Myrmecaelurus trigrammus are also similar, but it is easier to discriminate between them on a top view of the pronotum, so if you have one it may help.
