Female Twelve-spotted Skimmer (Libellula pulchella) and her potential lunch (a.k.a. Syrphid Fly; Cheilosia albitarsis) - Penny Lane, Penny Lake Preserve, Boothbay Harbor, Maine
And speaking of "Lunch on the Fly",
dragonflies only capture prey while it is in flight.
And when I say only, I mean it, since I've seen flies sitting on flowers right in front of them, and they make no attempt to capture them until they fly away.
'Kinda like how people shoot ducks.

Debajo de este tallo inclinado y doblado, al borde del agua este macho de Aeshna cyanea se hacÃa invisible desde arriba, asà se protegÃa en esta fase 4 de la emergencia, en espera de que sus alas se extiendan, se endurezcan y se sequen, para iniciar su primer vuelo, con un poco de suerte pues el viento que soplaba aquella mañana le podrÃa deformar sus alas.
Mi agradecimiento a Ricardo, a Albert, que me llevaron a aquel oasis de vida.

Aeshna cyanea, ♂
Under this bent and bent stem, at the water's edge this male of Aeshna cyanea became invisible from above, thus protecting himself in this phase 4 of the emergency, waiting for his wings to spread, harden and dry, to start your first flight, with a bit of luck because the wind that was blowing that morning could deform your wings.
My thanks to Ricardo, to Albert, who took me to that oasis of life.
