Giant antlions are ambush predators that dig conical burrows and wait for prey to fall in. They can go for months without eating, so a giant antlion can remain a threat even if its food supply is cut off for extended periods. After about a year of growth, a giant antlion creates a cocoon and becomes an adult giant antlion lacewing.
