Sticky Situations - New Zealand Velvet-worm Shows Off Its Killer Antennae Skills!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the incredible feeding behavior of a New Zealand Velvet-worm. With its antennae acting as lethal weapons, this adult velvet-worm has successfully immobilized a cockroach larva prey in sticky fluid! Talk about an epic showdown between invertebrates! Caught in the act by nature photographer Emanuele Biggi, this rare moment showcases the unique hunting technique of these fascinating creatures. With precision and finesse, the velvet-worm ejects a viscous substance from its antennae to ensnare its unsuspecting victim. The image perfectly captures the intensity of this life-or-death encounter. The cockroach larva finds itself stuck in a gooey trap while our velvet-worm hero prepares for a well-deserved feast. It's like watching an action-packed scene from an arthropod blockbuster! Native to Australasia, these peripatopsidae marvels are masters of predation. Their ability to immobilize their prey with such efficiency is truly awe-inspiring. Who knew that something as seemingly harmless as antennae could be so deadly? So next time you come across one of these intriguing velvet worms on your adventures through New Zealand's wilderness, remember not to underestimate their hidden powers! They may appear cute and innocent at first glance but beware - they're skilled assassins disguised as adorable critters!
