Antlion nymph - Myrmeleon
Copyright © 2008 Audrey R Hoff

Antlion nymph - Myrmeleon
UT Field Station, Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
August 8, 2008
Size: ~8mm
Presumed to be a nymph of Myrmeleon immaculatus, since that was the only adult species observed there. A number of conical pits were in the flowerboxes, and this nymph was captured at the bottom of one. UT Field Research Station, Gathering_2008. (Note: I had first put this image on the species page.)

My opinion
probably better placed higher, with "thumbs" (not links) connecting back and forth to the adult, unless you know there are really no other species there at all.
