Cool photos Mac. I never knew how interesting their little eyes were. Love it :)

Thanks Mark, have marked it as an Antlion, yes, it was very furry

Wow what great close-ups Mac. I think ant-lion too. I've seen that great pinwheel effect in the eye on other ant-lion shots also. I don't think I've ever seen such a furry one though.

I think MacC, you've got an adult antlion, similar to this one: http://www.qm.qld.gov.au/Find+out+about/Animals+of+Queensland/Insects/Lacewings/Common+species/Antlions
