Super video and what a great find. That is one fat hydra at the end.

Never have seen a hydra so enjoyed your post.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback :)

Rabitt, I used a stereo microscope, the hydra and larva was in a petri dish.

That is beyond amazing -- It looks like something that you would see on National Geographic. I'm also in awe at some of the shots you got and how you lit the hydra. And... I'm amazed at how Mr. Hyrda managed to stuff that entire mosquito larva into himself and afterwards looked like he was ready to eat another one.

Thanks for posting this!

This will be a slam dunk in the Nikon small world video competition.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Hkv :D :D

Just checked the Nikon Smallworld rules:

Movie length of no more than 60 seconds
The use of sound is not permitted
It is not permitted to add graphics of any kind

Bummer :? ;)
