Om Nom Nom - _TNY_2429
Another shot of a bright red male vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum) in the process of eating his dinner consisting of a grey fly which was devoured quite rapidly. This shot preceeded the other so there is more of the fly left here.
This species is also known as moustached darter because of the black line separating the eyes and the mouth - something which helps differentiate it from the otherwise similar common darter (S. striolatum).
