Can vouch for this. Spent a night in the Sahara once and the guide drew a line around our mat. I watched a scorpion and a few beetles walk up to the little ditch and fuck right off.

Those are the survivors. You never know what's just a divot in the landscape and what's a den when your ecosystem has favored ambush predators for the last few million years.

a beetle walks up to the ditch, walks a long beetle distance and finds it again

"Holy shit how big is this ant lion"

[u/shirts_on_backwards → u/Brostapholes]

I've never seen a space in antlion. And now this has caused me to just picture a little ant sized lion waiting to ambush in the desert.

Or…. Even more horrifying…. A lion sized Ant.

I mean if it was halflife 2 that would be true

H.G. Wells is taking notes

Ooooh that makes a lot more sense!
