Originally published: London: David West Children's Books, 2005.
Ant Lions and Lacewings
Some of the insect world's fiercest predators-ant lions, lacewings, and their relatives -- are introduced in this book. Learn how to keep an ant lion and observe this fascinating insect as it digs a pit trap for its unwary prey.
The Ant-Lion
The Ant-Lion is an African adventure story in which three English children are invited to a wildlife conservation ranch in Tanzania, where they befriend a Maasai boy. The four of them face hair-raising encounters with lions, elephants, snakes, buffaloes and bandits, as they seek to find valuable minerals that could save the ranch’s finances and prevent its closure.
Native Versus Exotic Ants as a Food Source for the Ant Lion, (Myrmeleon Crudelis)
Solenopsis invicta, a fire ant originally from South America, has become an important exotic pest in the southeastern US. Solenopsis invicta is well known for its powerful sting and are known to attack native wildlife, such as hatchling sea turtles. I examined the suitability of S. invicta as prey for a native antlion, Myrmeleon crudelis, in South Florida. I compared the growth and survival over 12-week period of 16 ant lions fed S. invicta and 16 fed a native pyramid ant, Dorymyrmex bureni. I found antlions fed S. invicta had significantly lower growth and survival than antlions fed D. bureni. Thus. S. invicta does not appear to be suitable prey for M. crudelis, and may have a negative impact on M crudelis in areas where it invades.
