Antlion larva - Myrmeleon
Copyright © 2008 Sam Houston

Antlion larva - Myrmeleon
Konawa, Seminole County, Oklahoma, USA
August 30, 2008
Size: 6mm (1/4")
I believe this is a beetle larva of some sort. I found it in a barn. There were hundreds of funnel shaped "traps", for lack of a better word, all around the barn floor in the soft loose dirt. I dug this one up just to see what had made the funnels. Weird looking critter.

Please help with ID.
