Dinertime (2)

As promised another picture in the category "Dinertime". This time not a Damsel- or Dragonfly, but a larvea of Carabidae (hope this is correctly written) trying to eat a earthworm.
He started to cut the worm in to pieces, but I was weak and as soon as de larvea lost his grip on the worm I put the worm in the grass.
Nice detail, I think, are the two "horns" on his back. Probably to scare or confuse enemies.
Start to love this miniature world more and more.

Exif: 1/500 s, f/5.6, ISO 800, 0.00 eV, 100 mm

a very interesting behavioural shot Tom. A little more space on the left would have been nice, but well captured otherwise.

Matt

I agree with Matt about a little more space on the left, maybe a little more shadow infilling as well. Still a good picture of something we rarely see posted.

David

Tom a very interesting image,that does look like a very large meal.

Keith.

It's a mean looking beastie, Tom. Agree re the room on the left, but still a good capture.

Andy...

Where do yu find them? Amazing docu.

Tom

A totally different image out of the box.

Very different image Tom.More space for the back end of the larvae would have been of benefit to the image I think. Never seen one before.
