FEATURED INSECT Antlion larva, Brachynemurus nebulosus (Olivier) Submitted by Thomas Eisner1 and Mark Deyrup2 1Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853, [email protected] J. Archbold Biological Station, Lake Placid, FL 33862, [email protected] This antlion larva is red, black and silvery like the business end of stinging vel­ vet ants (Mutillidae) found in the same hot and sandy habitat. Unlike other south­ eastern antiions, this species buries itself in ant mounds, charging up out of the sand to seize ants on their own doorstep. Also unlike other antlion larvae, it is occasion­ ally seen racing over the sur­ face of the ground, probably moving from one ant mound to another. During these forays, it may benefit from its conspicuous coloration. Other local anti ions in the same genus never appear on the surface, and are black or brown. The length of the antlion from the tip of the mandibles to the rear end is 6 mm.
