I just went to get some daphnia outside and there wasnt many at all, there is alot of algae in the drum so I thought I should take some out as the daph could be hiding in it. Threw some on the ground and noticed this:

It lives in water I know that much, it didnt like being pulled out.

Dragonfly larva.

If you think that's gross, you should look at its mouth under a dissecting microscope. Let just say that I know where the movie 'alien' got its inspiration!

Hahaha well its met its match then, hes in the frogs little pond now, guts will soon have him.

lol yeah, this is the frog that ate the other 2 lol, I remember reading that dragonfly larva eat tadpoles hes well beyond that point. It doesnt look like any dragonfly larva ive seen though, might still be early then. They usually look like the one in the pic, vicious but not gross.

Probably a differenct species. You could try growing him out and see what he emerges into?!?! Could be really perdy :P
