Probably the same critters that have attacked my garbage cans at night. I now have my garbage cans tied up to a fence with so many ropes they are starting to look like mummies. Thanks for visiting my blog.<br /><br />HJ, when you remember it, post it so we all chant along with you.<br /><br />Jill, I don’t know about the legality of mailing them. I never saw any of them until I moved on this property. They have to have sandy, loose soil to build their traps.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-86932043653182735502011-09-07T06:11:44.928-05:002011-09-07T06:11:44.928-05:00how illegal do you think it is to send ant lions t...how illegal do you think it is to send ant lions through the mail?

I also used to take small sticks and stir the bottom of the holes to watch them come out. I didn't know they turned in the dragon flies though. In that case I wouldn't harm them because dragon flies eat mosquitoes and don't harm humans (although some humans couldn't be convinced of that.)tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-26020023897673515772011-09-06T11:26:11.203-05:002011-09-06T11:26:11.203-05:00U meand doodle bugs? lol,,And i didn't know u...U meand doodle bugs? lol,,And i didn't know until i got an insect book for the kids, that they turned into dragon flies. Also, grub worms turn into June bugs. We played with the doodle bugs as kids, and i showed mine how to catch them.

There was an area near where the car was parked that had a red ant bed and in what soft sand/dirt there was those things had a colony. We boys would put an ant in one and watch to see if it could escape, not many die. Daddy called them Doodle bugs but Mother called them Ant Lions. <br /><br />Out side here in the car port are a bunch of them in the soft weather protected dirt.Ben in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068952818736489066noreply@blogger.com
