Speleon Explained
Speleon is a genus of antlions, that is, belonging to the family Myrmeleontidae.[1]
The genus was first described by Miller and Stange in 2012. Despite frequently being referred to as "cave dwelling," Miller and Strange describe them as not being true cave-dwelling antlions, because not all life stages are confined to caves.
