Science Buddies: Antlion Pits in Open Sand or Under Leaf Cover

Curated by ACT

Antlion larvae are known for their predatory ways. In sandy areas, they dig pits to trap ants or other crawling insects that happen to stumble in. This project shows you how to create a mini-environment for antlion larvae to test their preferences for pit-building sites.
