Back in February, when there was still a hint of a chill in the air at times, I wrote an article about the magic of an elusive critter - the Ant Lion (Myrmeleon).  (LINK)
Picture

T​hey are still at it, and you can see the evidence in the many many
'traps' visible along the Cactus Bld, particularly between E. Camino Pocero Parque and Allen Road under the spreading mesquite trees.

​
They are all sizes from tiny, barely 1/4' across to big ones a couple of inches 
To date I have STILL not been able to actually see the beast, only the traps.  Go have a look!
