This (not so) little guy decided to park himself on the side of the house a couple of days ago. Looks like a termite that escaped from Chernobyl. Can anybody identify?

I believe that's an adult antlion. Yes, the same little antlions/doodlebugs that have the holes in the sand that trap ants. Those are the larvae and they become these big lacewing things in the adult stage after cocooning for about a month underground.

Useless trivia: antlion larvae have no anus

Cool... thanks for the info. I've heard of them, but never seen one. Fearsome looking critters.
