This dragonfly devoured an entire insect in front of my eyes. Unfortunately, I had the wrong lens on my camera at this point and tried shooting with my zoom lens. By the time a got a decent shot, most of the victim had been eaten.

SB 600 off camera. Taken earlier this summer (2007), and I do not remember details.

If you identify this insect so please let me know it :)!

Saw at a riverside of Taiwan

In twenty years of watching insects I had never seen this uncommon fly of rivers and streams. Two days ago I saw my first one and today I saw AND photographed 2 more in another location. Amazing!

Alguien me puede decir que animal es éste?

Anyone please tell me what kind of insect is this one!

6-9mm, found this at the horse shoe bog near our house, this is the female I think, it was with a smaller, darker one which I think is the male, I frightened the male off trying to clamber under a barbed wire fence to get a closer look
