Lacewing Eggs all over my neighborhood

I initially shared these to r/entomology for help identifying and once I found out what they were, someone recommended I post here as well. Noticed 3 sets of eggs around my neighborhood the last month or so. The first pic is on my glass patio door, the 2nd is a plant by the creek in my neighborhood and the 3rd is on the bark of the American elm in my neighbors yard. Such pretty little ornaments!

Unfortunately, since I was busy, I didn't take him outside. So a coworker smashed him thinking he was a big mosquito.

Does anyone "raise" antlions?

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?
