Eight people participated in this week's survey under sunny, hot conditions. The larvae of antlions in the genus Myrmeleon, shown below, create funnel-shaped pits in dry, fine-grained soil to trap the arthropods on which they feed. Also called "doodlebugs," these antlion larvae can only crawl backwards, which is ideal for their subterranean lifestyle.
