O is for... Owlfly

owlfly
Owlflies look like Dragonflies, except Owlflies have large compound eyes, These eyes meet in the middle of the fly's head. The larvae of this insect look similar to the Antlion, Except they do not dig pits like the Antlion does. The larvae instead hid under piles of loose debris, Waiting for the next small insect to ambush.
