Description
Euptilon ornatum.
I found this little guy in my house the other night. I think he was about 2 inches long. The pattern of beauty is amazing!
As juveniles, these look very different. They dig a hole in the sand, and outfit it with sloping sides like a funnel. When an ant slides in, they have lunch.
Next picture is a detail shot.
