Antlion

Spotted this beauty low on a wall at work today. It appears to be in the genus Vella (precisely, Vella
fallax texana), which includes our largest Antlions. This one was at least two inches long.

Stunning macro, Carol. I saw some antlion pits awhile ago, which are neat to see, But the adults are very cool. V
