Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In the Namib desert where the sands can reach a scorching 70 degrees centigrade, very little is able to survive, but the Hotrod Ant can amazingly thrive and even forage for food. In this tense encounter, an unsuspecting Hotrod Ant has strayed in AntLion territory and faces the ultimate test of survival.

These slo-mo shots actually help a lot. Things happen so fast in the small insect world, that it's often hard to tell exactly what's happening, even if you're staring right at it. The slight slo-mo really adds some weight to the movement and gives you a better feeling of what's going down from the insect's point of view. ...Probably.

I don't remember how I found out you could feed ants to them, but after that, I started treating them as my pets, and I would give them ants to eat. I spent months feeding them, and watching the number of little pits in the yard increase. After that, I spent more months trying to dig them up to see what they looked like.

Antlions are small, about half an inch
Ive never seen a better video from BBC or any outlet, ever. This is literally the ABSOLUTE most put together top notch production for education I've ever seen.
Antlions are everywhere in the deserts, even the less intense ones. Back home in New Mexico, you could see pits that might have larva or have had larva. I used to think dragonflies were kinda common too, until I realized a good chunk not right by the river or lake were adults.
I can’t believe how that ant looked back. Amazing photo/videography!

I think this one was probably filmed in a terrarium. A lot of times these kind of videos are setups. Not to say it's fake and never happens, I do believe the ant lions do this but it would be hard to film in the desert.

Some of them don't make it out of the death cone. Then the larva eats. Rinse, repeat. It's how ambush predators do. This type of hunting is so efficient that most predators are ambush predators, very few would actually chase their prey.

In my experience a group of ant lion larvae will normally build pits surrounding ant hills, also I've never seen them grab the ant and fling them around. They always seem to grab the ant and drag it back underground to finish the job
The Ant at the end - "You got it all in your camera,, right?.." 💥🙄
I think we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when the ant emerged victorious from this death trap. 😰😅✌
