Yup, dragonfly nymph. I pull them out of the pond quite regularly.he one shown is probably a skimmer dragonfly nymph. Check out the dental equipment!-the section pulled out is commonly referred to as a mask and shoots out to grab whatever item was unfortuanate enough to pass by.

the larvae upsidedown. you can see the "mask" folded neatly under the head

now pulled forward

And now back to neutral....

Dunno how funny I will sound saying that that one is quite nice looking compared to mine...LOL

If you have any big fish around these are great food!

Pretty sure they would. I know large killies like Fp. sjoestedti or Aplocheilus lineatus will simply grab the small ones whole.
