Cool!
I had to check the info page to get the connection - that the antlion larvae are supposed to live in the gopher tortoise burrows. Nice illustration!

Hey, Don't Forget the Moths!!!
.... Gopher Tortoise Moths? No kidding, read this .pdf file about The Caterpillar That Recycles Tortoises. Machele White has their burrows in her yard in Lake County. I'm trying to get her to crawl down one of them with her camera :-))
