A Syrphid maggot eating aphids found on trumpet honeysuckle. The fully grown maggots can reach ten millimeters when fully stretched. The foolish sister of the victim came close to inspect.

I took a twig home and put it in water. I hope that I can raise the maggot to adulthood so that we can find out what species it is. Wish me luck.
