What is the Metamorphosis of the antlion?

The metamorphosis of the antlion involves several stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae, known for their predatory behavior, create conical pits in sandy soil to trap ants and other small insects. After several molts, the larva pupates, undergoing transformation within a protective casing. Finally, the adult antlion emerges, resembling a dragonfly, and is characterized by its long, slender body and large wings.
