A firewarm about 7-cm long is swallowing a krill about1.5-cm long. The firewarm generally remains motionless in an aquarium. But when frozen krills are dropped into the water, it detects the presence of food by smell and starts to move. When its head reaches a krill, it opens the moth wide and swallows the krill.
