Skeletonizing Leaf Beetle (Chrysomelidae: Trirhabda) Larva

[seahue]

Very interesting movements...I was also interested in the little one in the lower left of the frame...seemed to be watching with apt attention...just like me:D

@seahue Yes, I did see that other larva, to the left, whilst I was film this specimen. Both seemed vigorously active in a way which was very similar to the behavior of the small caterpillar's response to the salticid spider (in an earlier video). I wish that I was more knowledgable about insects, especially the larval forms. Sadly, the task of acquiring that knowledge is very long, and my life is much too short. But I take comfort in my ignorance, surrounded by innumerable mysteries. ;-)
