アリジゴクの巣穴掘りと獲物の引きずり込み Antlion Digging Trap & Dragging Prey

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

Haha, one at the right is like "Stop kicking sand into my hole!"

Closest insect we get to these is the green lacewing's larvae. Their bite itches.

Antlions are my all time favorites coz you don't have to go to other planets just to look for aliens. Its all there:-)

[sigma1920]

can't agree more.

what a cool ambush predator the antlion is!

i wonder if the spiral direction of their digging is always the same (clockwise or counterclockwise).

we can find their nests on the dry ground under the floor here in jpn.

i am curious to know what sort of habitat the tropical antlion lives in ur country (phillippines)?

We have a lot of antlions back in my home town province back in Leyte (Visayan Islands). They are more spotted in in coloration and a I think its the same size just like yours in ur country Japan. You can find them close to beaches under cottages, and nipa huts with a lot of shade from the sun. Dude, you should the "Madagascan Giant Antlion" These guys are about an inch long and are known to be the wolds larges antlions!

[sigma1920]

i would love to visit ur country someday.

sounds like a paradise!

thanks for commenting!

i have read that the antlion injects venom to paralyze its prey.

[ArielCaboob]

Wheres the ant at?? i want to see it eat.

[sigma1920]

as said in the video description, the ant was dragged underground not to be seen.

in fact, this is a sequel of my antlion video clips recorded by webcam. plz check out the playlist.

if i tried a closeup with digital camera from a few centimeters away, the lens would be bombarded with sand. i wish i had a better camera of more zooming capability.

anyway, thanks for subscribing.
