Yes, I'm fairly sure this is an Anthrenus larva that has lost the posterior tufts of bristles. Those bristles are defensive, and are easily shed if the larva feels threatened. The spear-like heads of the bristles will cause severe irritation. (see http://www.psmicr...e/80200902) I hope this didn't escape into a dried insect collection!

Hmm. in theory all the rest of hairs could be broken off too, see this: http://agrozoo.ne...9c58ae9950 Have this one stored for a 1.5 month now and it is not developing anywhere. I just thought the one from first post has unusual hair lenght, my filling is it did not loose pen structures. Took it from wall and took a shoot right away. Alive, hidden somewhere in my room (-: Edited by BubikolRamios on 03-03-2013 06:37 highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |
