A predacious Dytiscid beetle larva sinking its mandibles into a predacious Toxorhynchites mosquito larva - Dytiscus

set up shot

I'd be very interested to know how this photograph was taken? Toxorhynchites' habitat generally does not overlap with Dytistid. the predacious water beetle lives in pools, ponds and lakes whereas Tox. is a container/tree hole breeder. I would be surprised if this shot wasn't set up.
