Neuroptera
is a smaller order of holometabolous insects containing the lacewings, antlions, owlflies, and relatives. Most species are predatory, and adults typically have two pairs of large, lacey wings.
Falling sand traps an ant attempting to escape from an antlion pit. The larval antlion at the bottom of the pit repeatedly hurls debris at any insect that attempts to escape.
