The term Ant lion called larvae of the members of this family
Ant Lion Larva
Also called the "sand dragon"
Have six legged distributed three each party
Ant-Assad feed on arthropods and in particular "ants."
What distinguishes lion ants "Grub" is its lack of the anus at this stage of growth where all waste is stored inside until the transition from larva to adulthood.
Larvae burrow trap or trap gradually from the top is wide so narrow at the bottom and in the form of circular gully
As well as it Istqsd that encircles this hole crumbs of fine sand in order to help him in the slippery legged prey during on the pit to the walls of the trap and thus to the bottom
When OPEN digging trap it begins to pull back through the abdomen
The drilling will be starting from the ocean and toward the center of the trap any central groove and refer back and drilling a tour behind the tour
And with one leg the Panther fine sand on the edges of the groove as I mentioned until very smooth.
There are actually engineering in the work of this larva namely:
When drilling gradually as we tour round the lead to become the hole deeper and deeper until they reach
Slope angle "angle stillness" and this critical angle
That is, until reaching a certain degree of cohesion sand against collapse
And so when they fall prey they will try to climb to the top
Here begins the role of previous engineering study
Here Ant while falling into the pit
The movement caused by prey Btdafha to Khalasamn trap leads to the collapse of fine sand over it heavily ..
At this moment begins the work of lion ants "Grub"
Where it snaps into the bottom of the tapered hole from the bottom and embedded himself with sand into the ground and does not appear from his body, but the jaws
The so-assisted color and composition of his body slanted to the same color as the sand
PHP a moment that combines thick sand over Ant captures lion body Ant Pfkih and out of the hole
To help him so his limbs to control the victim
Here ant lion and scatter sand above the prey Ant
There will never escape from these two jaws
