I disagree. I believe it's ant lions. Not much you can or should do
about them. You could spray the area or granulate the area with
pesticides, but they really are beneficial insects.

Trap spiders will create a cylinder-shaped hideaway with a lid... not
a pit for bugs to fall in to.

Another trip to Google; another interesting entomylogical lesson for me - but
the holes I'm talking about are much larger -more like a foot across. And our
soil isn't particularly sandy. Clay in fact.

Or I have really big-XXX antlions ;)
