    I saw it flying around with a big white ball under its belly. Look weird so I chase it to finaly get that shot. It is only the second time that I see a dragonfly with its catch.

    Your curiosity paid off with a great shot, Yves. Dragonflies are fierce hunters and it's not looking good for the moth. I especially like how you captured the glimmer of the dragonflies' wings here.. so well done.

    Cool shot Yves. I am guessing that the moth isn’t too happy about the situation. That would have been tough to spot, well done.
