Bugs for Breakfast

Posted on July 7, 2012 by

Cerotainia is an effective predator.

It seems to prefer perching on the tips of leaves that have long narrow points.

Although they are not large there are a lot of them and they are pretty good at capturing prey.

    I too am very impressed with your insect shots, I think I’m quite glad we don’t see quite so much gory detail with our naked eyes though.
