Neuropterans: Lacewings, Antlions, and OwlfliesDynastes tityus female and Glenurus gratus
After a little searching on your website, I identified these two specimens found in my front yard. I live in Missouri below St. Louis. Hercules Beetle, Dynastes tityus female. She is 6.3 cm. (2.5 in.) from the head to the tip of the last leg. You can see the right side of the carapace is cracked because my dad stepped on the poor girl last night and that is how she was found. We released her this morning:

Hi Jenny,
Because it makes it difficult to archive letters with species belonging on different pages, and because we just posted a letter with both a male and female Eastern Hercules Beetle, we will only be posting your lovely image of an Antlion, Glenurus gratus, probably the most magnificent Antlion found in North America.
