The Ant Lion resting on the stairs

The ant lion is such an insect that in appearance looks a bit like a dragonfly (in the stage of an adult insect, that is, an imago). An interesting larva of this insect, which makes a funnel in the sand, and hides itself at the bottom. As soon as an ant (or other small insect) steps on the edge of the funnel, the larva begins to shell it with sand in order to knock it down. The insect falls to the bottom of the funnel, where it becomes the prey of a voracious larva. Probably, for such a warlike behavior, the insect received the name Ant Lion.
