Thread-Wing Antlion
(Varies by Species)
Found across parts of Africa and Asia, the Thread-Wing Antlion is an insect that looks like something assembled from spare parts. Its most striking feature is its elongated neck, used for hunting, and one of the longest relative to body size of any insect! When it becomes an adult, it looks equally strange with a duck-bill like face!


This is what it looks like as an adult!
Here is a close-up of its adult form!
