Revisiting an earlier species

[tceisele]

A few weeks ago, I posted pictures of a predatory beetle, and mentioned that I'd like to get a picture of the larva of that beetle, because they were pretty wicked-looking[1]. Well, here's a nice example, which I found crawling across the kitchen floor[2]. The small squares on the grid are 1 mm, so this larva is close to 2 cm long.

"Actually, I think it would be cool if a lot of people started cataloging the arthropods in their houses, it is a distinct, thriving environment and probably has a lot of species that aren't really found in the wild any more."

To a large extent, I don't mind sharing my house with bunches of small creatures. To a minor extent, I do. Because of this, I have sort of a "Don't go looking for trouble" attitude about it. I'm certainly not going to start taking family pictures of them! :-)
