Received  October 2011 Revised  January 2012 Published  October 2012

We develop a geometrical method to detect the presence of chaotic dynamics in delay differential equations. An application to the classical Lotka-Volterra model with delay is given.
Keywords: stretching along paths, Topological horseshoes, global continuation of horseshoes, delay, predator-prey systems..
