Damselfly larva devours a small fish

[jumpone1]

That damsel's got a big appetite!! How many fish a day does it eat?

[hebneh]

Nature in the raw is seldom mild!

And that's the way the cookie crumbles Mr Fishy

[Xenoxander]

what a horrible way to die. Something eats your whole body (head last) and your alive to enjoy every second of it..

[PDMLJC]

@Xenoxander what can i say, damselfly nymph are badass!

[veganacademy]

Eesh I hate how it gets eaten alive, with it's guts flowing out of his mouth and stuff. Nice video, good job!

[haan0ubez67]

How magnified is the image? (Thank you for an amazing video.)

[tanghb]

@haan0ubez67 I attached a close-up lens in front of my video camera. I do not know exactly how many times it's magnified, but I think I used 8X zoom on the video camera lens.

[haan0ubez67]

@tanghb Thank you once again.

at 1:06 the fish started chewing on his own guts 0_0

[ThePapabear1017]

Nothing like being eaten alive.LOL

[MetalSpiral]

Ah, the wonders of the natural world... Baby insect eating fish!

[JakeCPalmer]

I can't believe how long the fish was alive!

[RealXIII]

It looks like the tadpoles were puking organs through his mouth while being eaten alive

[geeklord09]

I IS NOMMING ON YO GUTS!

[pylgrym]

YouTube will send science great gifts such as these for as long as there is cyberspace . . . THANKS a MILLION !!

[Utsusemi]

[merpig1971]

i found one damselfly in my nano tank (i keep platties) did not know what was that until i saw this vid. thanks for the info. i see it as not harmful (yet) so i keep it.

[HusbandandWifeShow]

Wonderful footage! The fish had no body, but was yet trying to get away. I don't know it could have just nerves.

Stay safe...

[itwasaladream]

Ouch that's the worst way to be eaten...... ass first...

[dclx5i]

Holy crap ... wat an awesome video! You did a great work in filming it.

You've really captured raw hard-core nature.

However, I find my conflicted on the decision to click "I like this" :-P

[natureman494]

how long did it take to get that shot

[tanghb]

@natureman494 It took about an hour.

[natureman494]

@tanghb what did you use to film it

[tanghb]

@natureman494

I used a Panasonic NV-GS500 camcorder, with a close-up lens attached. Please see

[MEGABOINK65]

[AntiPsychopath]
