I found this interesting creature sitting on the wall of our fence a little ago and I had to take some photos and show them here.

Thank you, Mark, for the suggestion.

Thank you, Mark! I found that this is really adult Ant-lion. Time ago I was always fascinated by the not grown ant-lions. We used to play with them feeding them some ants. As we have too many ants in the garden so these hunters are here as well!

Fabulous. Antlion adult. Maybe similar to this American one http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2009/08/04/antlion-19/
