Crossobamon orientalis
Monsoon is that time of the year when insect activity is at its peak. While herping in Thar Desert I came across many Antlions swarming the vicinity. While Geckos were having a field day with easy supply of food, they were also getting pestered with the sheer number of Antlions. I saw this Antlion crawl all the way up to the head and fly off a few minutes later. Couldn't take my eyes off the amalgamation of those pair of eyes !
Thar Desert - World's 17th largest desert, and the world's 9th largest subtropical desert.
