This is a ruby red lacewing butterfly, and the way it had it’s proboscis inserted into the flower made me think of that moment when we first get a nice thick milkshake, and we are sucking hard on the straw, fighting against the frozen delight to extract it’s sweet creaminess!

Courtesy Wikipedia here Antlions are a family of insects in the order Neuroptera with the scientific name Myrmeleontidae (sometimes misspelled as “Myrmeleonidae”); the most well-known genus is Myrmeleo. There are about 2,000 species. Strictly speaking, the term “antlion” applies to the larval form of the members of this family, but while several languages have their own terms for the adult, there is no widely used word for them in English. Very rarely, the adults are called “antlion lacewings”. The antlion larva is often called “doodlebug” in North America because of the odd winding, spiralling trails it leaves in the sand while looking for a good location to build its trap, as these trails look like someone has doodled in the sand. It is also sometimes called sand dragon. Antlions are worldwide in distribution, most common in arid and sandy habitats. They also are very feeble fliers and are normally found fluttering about in the night, in search of a mate. The adult is thus rarely seen in the wild because it is typically active only in the evening. They are highly active in desert regions and are a nuisance. They will deliver a small, mildly painful bite if given the chance to land on someone. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / ACRYLIC ART CALENDARS CARDS POETRY PHOTOGRAPHY – ANIMALS PHOTOGRAPHY -CANDID SHOTS PHOTOGRAPHY – CATS AND DOGS PHOTOGRAPHY – CONTEMPORARY WORK PHOTOGRAPHY – FLOWERS PHOTOGRAPHY – INSECTS PHOTOGRAPHY – TRADITIONALLY TURKISH PHOTOGRAPHY – TREE AND TREE PARTS T-SHİRTS —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / More products available / Why not follow me on / or join me at —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / PHOTOGRAPHY: INSECTS ANTLIONS / ARACHNIDS BEETLES BUTTERFLIES and MOTHS COCKCHAFER DRAGONFLIES FLIES GRASSHOPPER/LOCUSTS HONEY BEES MANTIS WASP —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- See more of taiche at ZAZZLE / Baby Custom T-Shirts :dress that baby up with a special design on a custom t-shirt, long sleeve or onesize / Kids Custom T-Shirts .from organic t-shirts to long sleeve shirts, boys, girls, and toddlers can fill their fashion needs with a one-of-a-kind custom t-shirts for kids.
