A cautionary tale… make sure when you're hitching a ride that you don't end up being eaten!
Note the fly near the newt's rear left leg.
The fly hitches a ride.
The fly has hopped off and is on a grass stalk. The newt has seen it.
Gulp! Note the swallowing action in the throat.
All gone!
Camera note: sequence taken with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens.
