When dipping the river at Bellever on Dartmoor I found a strange looking tube made of sand. I turned out to be the case of a Rheotanytarsus sp midge larva. Sadly it didnt seem to be occupied, but a new one for me anyway.

Beautiful Demoiselle nymph from Bellever, Dartmoor

Dartmoor, Devon, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, odonataBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 17, 2013Leave a comment
