Ich wohne leider fernab von jeglichen Sandgebieten, sodass ich mich mit Ameisenlöwen, geschweige denn ihren Larven, nicht auskenne.
Vielleicht erkennt ja jemand die Art, die ich in Dünen- und Küstennähe in Zingst gefunden habe. Aus ihnen entwickeln sich später die Ameisenjungfern, die eher an Kleinlibellen erinnern.

This tiny hemerobiid lacewing, Sympherobius occidentalis, arrived to the porch light last night. With magnification, we can see its hypnotic wing venation.
