| | | Larvae and 'worm' for identification Sorry, I seem to have taken over this bit of the forum this evening.
Can anybody identify this larva please, and is the other beastie a water slater?
This is a different larva, although it might be the same species it was a different colour. There's a little worm/annelid of some sort too, any idea what it might be?
The big brown thing is a decaying sycamore seed.
(Need to get a decent book, and try to remember to put things into a white coloured container in the future.) |

| | | Re: Larvae and 'worm' for identification In the top image, the beast on the left is a Hog Louse - Asellus aquaticus and the one on the right is a damselfly nymph. The others are damselfly nymphs as well. Can't see the worm type larva so well for an ID.
Hopefully someone here might be able to tell you which species of Damselfly.

| | | Re: Larvae and 'worm' for identification Thanks. I thought they all looked the same, but the difference in colour was a bit confusing. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
