Antlions are interesting invertebrates. They move along over the top of the soil in an undulating pattern, leaving behind really neat wavy tracks! They also burrow backward and in a spiral down into the soil. This creates an antlion trap. The little critter then waits, buried at the back of the conical antlion trap, waiting for an unlucky ant to fall in! |

This is the undulating trail left by an antlion as it moved across the soil. These trails have earned them the name doodlebug! |
