Neuropterans: Lacewings, Antlions, and Owlflies

I know this is probably a common bug that everyone on this planet apart from my partner and myself have seen but curious got the better of us and we can’t find it in the encyclopaedia (mainly because we don’t know where to start looking). At first we thought maybe Ant lion, then cockroach, then alien larva from mars, then back to mutant crossbreeding of cockroach/ant lion. So I guess any help would be good
Thanks

Hi Jason,
Thank you for sending in the photo of a Doodlebug. We have gotten several letters, but have not received a photo until yours. This is the larva of the Antlion, Family Myrmeleontidae.
