An antlion is named for its predatory behavior, particularly its tendency to capture and consume ants, which are often its primary prey. The term "lion" in its name reflects its fierce hunting abilities, similar to how lions are perceived as powerful predators in the animal kingdom. Antlions are actually larvae of the species in the family Myrmeleontidae, and they create pitfall traps in sandy soil to ensnare unsuspecting ants and other small insects.
