I've teased many an ant lion larvae by dribbling sand into their lairs, but rarely seen a adult.  This is a great look, Balan, with the backlighting setting the wings aglow and the nicely angled stem.

Balan, Great shot love the backlit and the translucency of the wings. I might suggest cropping little closer in on the shot to capture the detail of the body and head.... you've got a good eye
