I just captured an antlion larva from my garden. How difficult would it be to raise this little guy to adulthood?

I've raised them a few times and it wasn't difficult at all. I just put it in a container with sand and fed a an ant about every three days. Eventually it made a pupa so I moved it to a bigger cage and it hatched about four months later. Keep in mind, different kinds might have different needs, this is just my experience.

Thanks for the reply. This one is about to enter its pupal stage as it buried itself into the sand recently and abandoned its sand trap. Did you mist the habitat at all? I don't want the insect to die before reaching adulthood.
