[Odonata-l] Damsel eats dragon!

[Joshua Stuart Rose]

Howdy folks,

Dragonflies eat damselflies all the time. There are a number of  
relatively famous examples of dragons eating other dragons. Damsels  
eating damsels seems less common but far from unheard-of.

But how about a damselfly eating a dragonfly?

This photo is the first time I can recall seeing such a situation.  
How many folks have seen, or heard of, this before?

Also: anyone recognize the species involved? I can tell the two  
critters to family, probably genus.

Cheers,

Josh
