Discovering

My mom found a crazy insect last night!!! I have never seen one of these alive. It is an adult antlion (Order Neuroptera, Family Myrmeleontidae). There are 92 species in North America. They are attracted to the (porch) light. If this is gibberish to you, just know that these are related to lacewings (that fragile, pale green bug on your windowsill) :)
