The Nymph or Like mother ... The nymph is also a dangerous predator, for it's size. The small leechlike predator clung to the grass and lets its body float along invitingly out into the water, a delicious morsel. The stickleback minnow noticed the little tasty and darted in anipping. The release from the grass was timed carefully to allow the leech to attach itself to the outside jaw of the minnow. Painstakingly the battle for life and death began, it's end inevitable as the leech extracted itself from the mouth and now clung to the outside of the fish and fed. The small minnow might normally have avoided the next menace, but this time the quick flash of the Nymph's legs resulted in a catch. The brief struggle ended with a single powerful bite from the Nymph. The legs rotated the catch as the powerful mandibles began slowly chunking out the minnow from the head down, bite by bite. The leech was indiscriminately consumed as well.
