The antlion's life cycle is shown below
Most of us I am certain know it in it's larva stage, you have seen it digging it's pit while on the larva stage.

Myrmeleon or Ant lion, When ready to become adults, they dig more deeply into the soil and begin a pupal stage within a round cocoon made of sand and silk. After about a month, the insect emerges as an adult, crawls aboveground, allows its wings to harden, and takes flight. The adult antlions mate and repeat the cycle. Their lifespan is 25 days. I hope this information is helpful.
