Nice shot argybee. Good to see one of the kids=) The larvae start off quite black.

Thanks KcT and KarenL. Yes it wasn't too easy to get the shot. A very dull day; she was running as fast as she could :) and I was reaching as high as I could while shooting with a crummy little pocket camera one-handed. So it's as much about luck as anything.
