A carnivorous catapiller... if that isnt weird enough it poses as a stick to ambush its victums

Awesome,

it's quite fascinating the ways these insects have to ambush their prey.

ufffff, nasty.... but imagine having a 1000 of them on a farmers field, the best natural pesticide

I would have to say that is very cool video of this catapiller ambushing for a meal.

So, the caterpillar eats flies until he turns into one, then becomes prey for another caterpillar...

Uhh caterpillars tun into moths/butterflys

But you propose a curious food chain there... a renewable resource

Butterfly, fruitfly, they all look the same to me.

Oh noes, insect racist!

I suppose it would be.

But I don't want anyone to bump off Sailor Steve. That would suck.

Creepiest insect video I ever saw was a wasp stinging a large spider, not to kill it but just enough to keep it stunned but alive. Then she laid her egg on it and when the egg hatched the little baby wasp had a fresh food supply.

The whole insect world gives me the heebie-jeebies.

You'd probably like the movie Starship Troopers then

I'd love to read the book one day, but the movie is not high on my list. From your picture, they look like cockroaches and I absolutly loathe cockroaches.
I lived in Louisiana for 4 years when I was a teen and they grow 'em big down there. They're the state bird-I learned that some actually fly.
