Antlion - Mexoleon papago? - Mexoleon papago - Female
Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton , Santa Clara County, California, USA
June 29, 2015
Size: 1.5"
Saw this antlion at Lick Observatory. After looking through the guide, I'm guessing this is a Mexoleon papago, but not at all sure of that ID, as I've never tried to identify an antlion before. Expert ID would be very much appreciated.
