[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the beach of the river "de waal" I met this guy: it's a larve of Gomphus flavipes that comes crawling out of the river after a few years living as a larve in the river to fulfill the metamorphosis to an adult imago of Gomphus flavipes-Yellow-legged Dragonfly.

Hope you like it.

Hi Harm.
Now that is one ugly larve. Great detail shown to go with your notes. Well done.
Hard to believe that this is going to be a dragonfly in this state a.
I wonder if a slight bit of contrast might bring out the form of it a bit more, but then after two years living in the river I would feel a bit washed out too.
Thanks for sharing
