Looking for a non-chemical remedy for the aphids in your garden? Look no further than the ant lion. These beasts are the larvae of green lacewings, and they are monsters when it comes to eating all sorts of garden pests, including aphids, spider mites, mealy-bugs, etc.
I imagine they cart around all that junk as camouflage. I've tried using a similar rationale to explain my own slovenly appearance, but my boss has never been sympathetic.

Wow! Those are hot! If I was a bug I'd want some of that action
This is the best blog I've read in a long time. And might I add that this particular creature is mildly disgusting but ultimately awesome?!
Thanks Amol and Barrie. Too kind.
people should use Kleenexes when they sneeze, sheesh lol
nice page .it is so cool.
I am not sure, but wouldn't this attract birds? I mean, they are always searching for nesting materials.
It's like the Junk Lady from Labyrinth.
