Ken, All, Its a bug-eat-bug world out there. I put a few shots I had of dragonflies with prey etc. in a little gallery: _http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/bug_eat_bug_ (http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/bug_eat_bug) I think it all levels out some how. I've heard Purple Martins and Mississippi Kites specialize in dragonflies as prey, I'd like to get some shots of that sometime. Richard Connors Nashville In a message dated 6/29/2010 12:38:51 P.M.

I have never seen a dragonfly take any prey that was bigger than a small damselfly. Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County _http://www.finishflagfarms.com_ (http://www.finishflagfarms.com/)
