Look at the "nose hairs" on that thing! :shock: Very nice image there Charlie, looks almost like a Chinese/Japanese water color! Maybe a few bamboo shoots. :D

I like how you can see the things branching off the main tube. It almost looks like you disected the larvae and this is a cross section. Lots of information in this very sharp picture Charles
