Hi all,

I found this bug in my tank tonight. It was inside them stem of some

Elodea.
I was watching the tank carefully, looking for signs of pearling (which

I
have woohoo!), and I noticed the shadow twitching.
It is a few mm long, yellow with a green line down it. The picture

doesn't
show tufts of hairs along its length.
Anyone know what it is???

Many thanks

Phil.



How new is the plant? Could be a catapillar caught in the plant if it

wasn't
grown fully submerged at the supplier.

Cheers

I bought several bunches about two weeks ago. It was living fully submerged,
and as I say, *inside* a stem.
Very strange.
