Breakfast Buffet, Pt. 3 - _TNY_3905

This male common bluetail (Ischnura senegalensis) was most accomodating and allowed me to try out lots of different settings and angles before he flew a few decimeters to catch one of the white Meenoplid planthoppers. (Nisia sp.) buzzing around before landing on the same spot to eat it.

 

Zoom in on the water drops - it is possible to see part of the vegetation around this reflected in the top one!

 

I found this one early in the morning in the garden at Mercury Phu Quoc Resort and Villas in Phu Quoc, Vietnam back in early 2018.
