Nature Wants to Eat You
The antlion loves ants. It loves them so much that it digs a slippery, conical deathpit house of fun, just for them. Sweet! Ants that stray into it slip downwards; if they manage to get a foothold, the antlion flicks sand at them so they lose their grip because it’s excited. Fun! When they reach the bottom, the antlion bites hugs them with its massive jaws and injects them with paralysing venom love. Awww! Sources: Cotinis via Bugguide
