Frolicking inside a chicory flower, not a caterpillar ! - Chrysoperla
Richmond, Greater Vancouver District, British Columbia, Canada

Size: 5-6mm
I was shooting a chicory flower, and noticed something wriggling.
At first thought it was a caterpillar. Then thought otherwise.
Kindly take a look and enlighten please. Thank you.
