Doesn’t everyone sit around in their lawn chairs and watch the rain barrels?
Anyway I was down watching my rainwater collection system (pond0) and the diving beetle larva were crawling out of the water, I assume to pupate. I had seen one yesterday and wasn’t sure what I had seen but today one crawled out and ran across the sand and this big boy ran down caught it, and ate it about three feet from me.
So I got out my phone and here are a couple of videos while I was watching my “rain barrel”s.

And then a different lizard got a diving beetle larvae.

Sure is tough being a mosquito larvae in a natural pond. First you are eaten by a diving beetle larvae and then re-eaten by a lizard.
You know if I was spraying insecticides around, none of this would happen.
