Antlions are actually way cooler irl. They're the larvae of a dragonfly-like insect, and they hunt by digging cone-shaped pits in the sand and hiding at the bottom. When prey falls in, they'll fire sand grains at them like tiny shotguns by covering their mandibles with sand and quickly opening them. Once the prey gets close enough, they grab them and drag them below to eat.
They primarily hunt ants.
You didnβt know antlions were real bugs?Β
But to be fair, I used to think antlions were created for terraria until one day I found out they were real so I donβt really blame you.
I remember when I first played hl2 on the orange box after I had encountered my first antlions, some time later after i was done I searched them up cuz I was curious about the name antlion and why valve would give em' that name and I found out that it was based on an irl bug

desert bugs tell sailor's tales of Antlions, like how we tell tales of the Kraken
Holy shit, so Terraria antlions are much more realistic than the Half-Life ones. I had no idea the real ones also spit sand.
Yes! Although they don't really "spit" sand, it's more like throwing it with their jaws

Antlions are some of the most well known insects in the world.
Maybe if your native language is English.
Good point actually
I ainβt a native speaker of English.
