A Photuris firefly eating a Photinus (smaller species). She lures him down to a the ground in the dark. He thinks she's another Photinus looking to mate with him based on her lighted "answer" to his mating signals. Then when he lands next to her, surprise! She doesn't want to mate with him. She wants to EAT him!
@staffxsarge The predator is not actually a firefly, it pretends to be, and then when the male goes to bang it, she eats the motherfucker. Like a counter rape.
This is a remarkable video of a voracious Photuris feeding upon its prey, another firefly. Please check the description and go to the Firefly FAQ site if you want to learn more about fireflies.
