| Re: Sticklebacks: are they bad for wildlife?
Sticklebacks are voracious predators, however they are part of the natural foodchain and even end up as meals for dragonfly nymphs and great diving beetle adults/larvae.
The 'Field guide to the dragonflies and damselflies of Great Britain and Ireland' by Steve Brooks has a picture of a brown hawker nymph eating a stickleback that is a bit larger than itself. |
