The ant-lion, also known as doodlebug, is a tiny predatory
insect that digs little pits in the sand, then hides at the bottom waiting for
preys, typically ants, to fall in. When this happens, the sides of the pit
start to collapse, dragging the ant down toward its doom. If you are wondering
why I'm telling you this, you probably haven't seen Woman in the
Dunes.
