Found this hoverfly larva busy sucking the life out of an aphid near the top of a bamboo cane. larva about 8.5mm body length. They often seem to rear up like this with an aphid prey - suspect it's to stop the aphid walking off.

Amazing work as always! I think the lighting here is great in particular, did you use an off camera flash or is this natural?
