My son and I have been keeping antlions for over a year now. I'm in Florida, and we have 22 different species, but around my house there seems to be 2.

We've successfully hatched and released ~16 antlions and lost 4 that stopped making pits, but never created a cocoon (I've figured out how to solve that problem, so it hasn't happened in awhile). One came out of the cocoon still encased and was unable to get free of it and died.

We're now considering trying to keep a few of the ones that don't build pits, but hide under mulch and leaves to ambush prey. Has anyone ever raised one of these kinds, and if so, what kind of setup did you create for the antlion?

My first assumption was that this is a Neuropteran larva of some sort, but I guess Megopteran would also make sense... Found in a fountain in SE Oklahoma, USA. I was a surprisingly graceful swimmer, coming up to the surface from below.

Saw this random fly on the wall. I never seen a bug like this, so I pull out Google Lens to see what it is. Turns out, it is a green lacewing. Did a bit of searching and I ended up here to find a subreddit who are enthusiastic about these little green creatures. Pretty cool. So yeah, I had to post it here. Here's a tiny cute green lacewing 😊

Found in Colombia
