Ooooh. Thats one fluffy caterpillar I won't be picking up.

Terrific results there.

thanks Pete,I dont think it's a caterpillar it cleaned out the snail shell

Oh that looks nasty. Good shot though CM.

yeah it's full on bad guy , thanks

thanks guys it's a Lace Wing Larvae

Wait so that caterpillar fought that spider which is 3X its size on the spider's own web and came out on top? That pretty bad ass.

yeah just a bit of a leg left and a shell of the snail

Gah!! How the heck did it eat all that!!!?!?!?!

Amazing series, thanks for sharing.

Amazing bug - good shots-don't think it's a lacewing larva- they have big curved pincers but might be something else from the same family.
