Double-toothed prominent (Nerice bidendtata), #7929

Larose Forest. Munching away on an elm leaf which is apparently their primary, or only, food source. All the double-toothed prominents I've seen (not many) have been on elms.

I can see how they got their name. Interesting looking with its jagged edges. V.

A wonderful catch of this green guy. He does look a little like a dragon! V

It looks sort of like a dragon! Great detail and light, and I do prefer them on a one-to-one basis ;-). V.
