With striking high-speed video footage, scientists have for the first time detailed how predatory mosquito larvae attack and capture prey in aquatic habitats. Published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, this new research sheds light on behavior that has long proven too small and too fast to study, until now. In this video, a Psorophora ciliata larva strikes a prey larva via a sudden neck extension to launch its head away from its body and toward the prey.
