Under a moderate magnification of 340X, this digitally-colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted the exoskeletal surface of a larval staged antlion, sometimes referred to as a doodlebug, because of the trails it leaves in the soft sand as it hunts for prey. This arthropod undergoes dramatic morphologic changes when it metamorphoses into a beautiful flying antlion lacewing. In this particular view, the distal end of one of the larvas extremities is highlighted, revealing the claw
