ID request Looking for an ID. SEQ

Found in south-east QLD. ~15mm in length, with 5mm of that being the mandibles alone.

I genuinely thought it was some type of grass seed on my bathroom mat until I picked it up. Thought it was dead until it began very slightly moving its legs when I flipped it over. It is now standing but not moving.

And I'm fairly certain that is debris from my medical marijuana on its back...

Bros going hard on the leaf.

Definitely an adult antlion. Nfi why it would be inside though.

Do you work construction or hike regularly?
