Myrmeleontidae
This is a sand pit made by the Antlion larvae. It stays burried with only its jaws exposed (if at all). It waits for prey to climb down or fall into the trap. The second and third image shows the tracks of the larvae which walks backwards.

Oh my goodness, Ava. The next time you see me, I give you permission to smack me for continually forgetting about your awesome mission! Thank you for the reminder. It's added :)
