White faced Ducks Preening

This little dragonfly like insect is the flying stage of the Ant Lion. Seeing as we are working with lions and cant find them, I would make use of the lion pun! As a kid, we used to spend hours tickling the antlion larva out of its cone shaped sand traps. They build them in fine sand so that any insect that blunders in slides down to the waiting ant lion which devours them. At night, the flying form has big eyes which reflect the headlights.

This inquisitive zebra came closer to see what I was up to in the car. I often wonder what they ( the animals) are thinking. I saw the same thoughts in this this zebras little mind.
