Video by joelsartore | The dobsonfly’s journey begins when an adult female lays her eggs in a fast-moving stream or river. After emerging from the eggs, larvae like the one you see here hide under rocks and in crevices until they morph into their adult form. In its aquatic larvae phase, the dobsonfly is a fierce predator, equipped with sharp pincers capable of piercing human skin. Video taken conserve_ok.
