Lots of green lacewings flying around on this warm, sunny day.

Antlion

On February 23rd, I noticed what appeared to be a freshly dug antlion pit in the colony by our front door. It was very small - only about 1/2" across. I'm guessing that it was formed on either the 18th or 19th when it warmed up to the low 40s.
