AboutHeather Expertise I can answer questions ONLY on ant lions,(aka doodlebugs), butterflies, and certain other insects. NO BUG IDENTIFICATIONS, I will not answer any questions asking for bug IDs, NO home insect invasion questions please! If you ask anything about "What is this?!" and it doesn't pertain to butterflies or antlions then I CAN'T ANSWER!
Question I was doing a word puzzle and the answer was doodlebug. I wanted to know what is a doodlebug and what do they look like? I did a search and basically only came up with you as an expert so far. I am not an entomologist but insects are pretty cool. Thanks. Alicia
Answer Doodle bug is an informal name for in insect known as the antlion. They build cone shaped sand traps and wait for an unsuspecting insect to fall in the cone, right into the jaws of the antlion. Here is a website that can explain them better then I.
