The ant lion is the larval form of the lacewing fly and one of the deadliest natural enemies of the ant. It digs rapidly into crumbling soil and excavates a circular pit, at the bottom of which it lies concealed awaiting some prey, such as an ant or other insects. The ant lion seizes its prey between the jaws and sucks its blood. 3, record 10, English, - ant%20lion
