Field Notes

Description:

I saw several small (+/- 2 cm) brown grubs floating down a creek north of Durango, CO, but this one had a passenger. I couldn't tell if the grub was trying to bite the fly or just make it go away.

Thanks Ismael, KarenL, and Heather. It was really odd... I've never seen anything like it.
