::Yes that's true. But this stage doesn't resemble an adult antlion very much either. I think its resemblance to a mayfly should be mentioned in the article.

:::I recently found out that the Japanese word for antlion translates "thin-winged mayfly," and I believe Vibrava's design takes that literally. Since it's the mid-stage, I'm guessing that it may have been based on a mayfly dun (whereas Flygon would be the mature adult, albeit based different species).
