Have you ever seen these little impressions in your garden? What if I told you they were cleverly laid traps for small insects?

😲

It's true.

The antlion larva (sometimes referred to as a 'doodlebug') digs a funnel-shaped pit 2.5 to 5 cm deep and 2.5 to 7.5 cm wide at the edge by using its oval, sandy-gray abdomen as a plow and heaping the loosened particles on its large square head and throwing them clear of the pit. When the pit is completed, the larva next buries itself at the bottom so that only its jaws project. Any small insect that ventures over the edge of the sandy pit slips to the bottom and is seized by its sickle-like jaws.

After they suck out the contents of its victim, they simply throw the empty skin out of the pit wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

😆

After a period of feeding and growth the larva prepares a cocoon of sand and spun silk in which it will transform into a sexually mature adult that will emerge in late summer.

It's a very weak flier and has relatively short, clubbed antennae and four narrow, delicate, densely net-veined wings that may be marked with brown or black. Since the adult does not feed, the larva must then consume sufficient food to sustain the adult, meaning, these little traps need to catch a lot of prey.

Spotted this l'il fella out working hard today.

Although they do contribute to the "accidental pollination" process, wasps, daubers and yellow jackets have fewer and finer hairs than fuzzy bees which makes them less efficient at carrying large loads of pollen.

What they do do (hehehe, I said "doodoo") rather well for your benefit is hunt all the things that tend to damage your precious garden blooms such as katydids, cutworms, caterpillars, and crickets.

They're still super fun to watch though, and as long as you move slowly and are considerate of their space, they generally just leave you alone.
