Remember the syrphid fly that was laying eggs the other day? Well, they hatched. And the larvae are just that: larval. I mean ladybug larva are pretty cool looking. Even caterpillars can be cute.
But this? This is a soulless, horrible maggot.
On the bright side, they suck the juice out of aphids. They’re not so easy to spot. The aphids cluster in their hordes, but I have to put on my reading glasses and lean in close to spot tiny yellowish maggots next to them. The camera gets a even closer look.
Wanna see?
EWWW!
You vampire lovers out there are in serious denial.
