So what do they eat as larvae? Mosquito eggs?

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 19 points 2 months ago

Anything that move and smaller than them, even fish, as they're ambush predator, by launching their dino-grabber-like mouth part to grab their prey and send it right into their mouth. They also have jet butt. If the adult is the airforce, the nymph is the navy.
