Don't know what a Ant Lion is.
It looks like a cross between a praying mantis & grasshopper. Maybe some type of nymph.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antlion

They are found all over the world, about 2000 species.

Go to that link and scroll down to the Sand Pit Traps.
Have you seen anything like that near you? I do not know how far they travel.
