		<description><![CDATA[I went down to an inland dune habitat in Southwestern Ontario yesterday with my lab mates to do some collecting. For the most part insects were pretty scarce to come by, except for the biting flies, which were out in abundance. Thankfully this was the only deer fly (family Tabanidae) that I had the misfortune <a href='http://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/05/16/like-a-deer-fly-in-the-headlights/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Because of this: Since a piranha-like fish with 1+ inch teeth isn&#8217;t scary enough on it&#8217;s own, this one has a frickin&#8217; isopod for a tongue!
