I found such a photo on the Internet and became interested in what function such a structure could perform.

    Are there any predators smart enough to strategize like this?

    it is the predators that build such passages. Have you ever seen any construction company building them? Even in the first photo that is under construction, there is not any human worker in sight

      That under construction pit is the pit of the manlion. It’s similar to the pit of the antlion, except for construction workers.

      They always have to deal with the manlion before they start building. Often by pouring concrete over it.
