Ant-lion lacewing

Myrmeleontidae

Description:

The adult of the ant-lions. The ruthless killer when young, transforms into an angel like insect in its adult form. Shooting this insect was like playing hide and seek. This guy would try to hide behind the grass every time i tried to focus him side ways. When framed from above he would move round the stem. It was fun shooting this beautiful ant-lion.
