\noindent{\bf Essential Question:}
How do antlion spatial patterns, such as pit depth, width, and nearest neighbor, as well as group behavior, vary with spatial constraints and interruptions in possible communication pathways?
\medbreak
\noindent{\bf Hypothesis:}
Antlions likely lack an intelligent mode of communication, so interruptions in the environment (removal of trails, introduction of physical obstacles, fictional pits) will not impact their ability to form nesting patterns, except insofar as they cannot nest immediately adjacent to the obstacles because the primary regulating method is cannibalism.
