I'd think this is an antlion hole, for trapping ants. Great shot.

I would agree with the ant hill/ant nest guesses. It's certainly a fascinating and well detailed shot Isabel.

Xata ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Size is bigger, so antlion trap is a best guess…

Edna Edenkoben ^club

My first thought: anthill. But wouldn't that be too easy? A molehill of a rock mole perhaps? ;-)
I hope you'll let us know eventually. But whatever it is, it's sure photogenic.

Xata ^club has replied to Edna Edenkoben ^club

Never saw the “beast” but antlion trap indeed ! Just dont fall on it if you are the ant size !

Xata ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

No it isnt, antlion trap…

Peter Castell ^club

Assuming it wasn't made by you Isabel I don't think it's anything to do with ants I think it's on a beach at low tide something that closes the hole when the tide comes in

Boarischa Krautmo ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

ok, you might be right...

Xata ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

No… not on the beach but in Penedos ! Antlion trap

aNNa schramm ^club

Isabel* I would say it's sand bees (Andrena) - they also called earth bees - because they pile sand into mounds. I saw them lying in and out. Sometimes they pushed small balls of sand outside.
There were several hills in the immediate vicinity.

Xata ^club has replied to aNNa schramm ^club

But no, not here, it is an antlion trap. We have sandbees but in the coastal area.
Obrigada aNNa
