This came fluttering into my face at work yesterday.

It's an adult antlion if I'm not mistaken. (Am I mistaken, scientists?)

It calmed down when I gave it a stick to perch on.

Sorry I took so many pictures--all my life and I've never seen one before.

Apparently they're nocturnal, and on the right background they're pretty hard to see!

See this post for more on antlions.

Do you ever look at www.whatsthatbug.com? People send in photos and get help IDing bugs. Fun browsing.

Whenever I do some bug research that site is always one of the top hits. It's pretty good. I like their "we don't advoctate exterminators" banner.
