Another Ant Lion - Myrmeleon
Kerrville, Kerr County, Texas, USA
October 2, 2006
Here is another antlion. (Is it Ant Lion or Antlion?).

This one differs from the one I submitted a couple of months ago in that this one does not have the "barberpole" markings on its antennae, and this one has "bumps" on it's head whereas the other one had a relatively flat head. Also, the wing veination is quite different.

Can anyone tell me if they are two different species?

Here is the other one:

It has been identiffied as Euptilon sinuatum.
