Antlion (Family Myrmeleontidae) at MacGregor Point Provincial Park, August 2017. These amazing creatures are related to Lacewings, and you can see the resemblance between their larvae. The larvae of Antlions (pictured here) are ambush predators that create pits in the sand for ants or other small insects to get stuck in. At the center of the pit are those massive jaws wide open and waiting. When an insect is trying to climb out of the sand pit, the Antlion will even toss sand grains in its path to make the climb even more difficult, ensuring it captures its meal. Swipe to see the Antlion as it burrowed back into the sand. . . . . . . . #nature #antlion #antlionsofinstagram #antlions #myrmeleontidae #insectpredator #ambushpredator #insectphotos #macgregorpoint #macgregorpointprovincialpark #lakehuron #beachinsect #amazinginsect #provincialpark #ontarioprovincialparks (at MacGregor Point Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtiKYMgLuZ/?igshid=1pt7e2mja99ou

GABOON VIPER Bitis gabonica ©Laura Quick This solitary snake is easily recognizable (though often hard to spot) due to its beautiful, symmetrical patterning, it disappears into the leaf litter. As an ambush predator, this nocturnal hunter will hide among the leaves and wait for its prey to pass by. Sometimes its victims will unknowingly walk right on top of the snake, not realizing their mistake until it is too late. With the highest venom yield of all venomous snakes, they have a deadly bite. The number of human fatalities is low as Gaboon vipers tend to be very calm, docile snakes. When threatened, they will initially hold very still and produce a loud, hissing sound as a warning. Unless striking, they tend to be slow-moving. Gaboon viper bites are rare; however, when they bite it is often fatal. Their record-length retractable fangs can be two inches long! #gaboonviper #viper #snake #two-inchfangs #©lauraquick #highestvenomyiel #thelair #los angeles zoo #glaza #lazoo #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #docent class #africa #bitisgabonica #ambushpredator #beautiful #animal #reptile https://www.instagram.com/p/B45orJ-HVr3/?igshid=2a6gquf0vn7
