Field data is presented for adults of several genera of antlions (Brachynemurus, Euptilon, Peruveleon, and Myrmeleon) collected during a three-year mark-recapture study in College Station, Texas. Results and discussion cover longevity, seasonality, local movement and population size estimates. This study provides useful information which increases our knowledge of the ecology and biology of adult antlions.
