Damsels may be lovely to look at but they are predatory hunters. This Large Red Damselfly caught itself a spider as I was watching it at the weekend, and then proceeded to munch it up until there wasn’t much left but the legs. Lovely.

HA! Nature can be brutal, can’t it! 😀 When our boys were younger, I used to take them pond-dipping. I remember one day a particular dragonfly larva acquired the name “Predator” because it kept eating the tadpoles!
