Neuropterans: Lacewings, Antlions, and OwlfliesIdentification?
I was wondering if you could identify this bug? I am guessing it is some type of wasp. I found it in the Summer while I was at a research center in the Mojave Desert. Also, the picture was also taken at night. Thanks for any help that you can give. Thank You,
Richard Coleman
Hi Richard,
This is an Antlion. They are often attracted to light. The larvae are known as Doodlebugs.
