Pine underbark larvae
Copyright © 2007 Jim McClarin

Pine underbark larvae
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
March 2, 2007
Size: 10 - 11 mm
On what I presume is the from end are some wicked curved teeth that could be effective armament when the larva snaps to one side or the other. They look remarkably like eyelashes on a muppet. I guess we know now where Jim Henson got the idea for some of his characters ;-)
