Just thought I should stop by and post a photo. Today was probably my last day out photographing dragonflies this year. I just managed to find a couple of dragonflies, and tomorrow temperature will drop, close to freezing in the nights, and not much above in the daytime.
Here's what I found on another cloudy day, when the dragonflies were hiding.
10th October 2006
5D, Sigma 150/2,8, cropped to about half-width.
Iso 1600, f/10, 1/30 sec.
Lying on the ground with camera supported by monopod and ballhead.
cheers

Re: Fly eats fly
Great shot Erland. What time of the day was? Intersting lighting.
I wonder how Ken and Doug didn't comment lichens?
It's fair, robberfly and prey were also upside down.Erland R.N. wrote: Lying on the ground with camera supported by monopod and ballhead.

The meaning of beauty is in sharing with others.

Thank you all for comments.
This was so difficult to photograph without flash, so I took tons of pictures
I'm not sure it's a robberfly, but think it's an Scatophaga stercoraria, or a similar species. These do not exclusively feed on insect prey.
**Edit**
Sorry, forgot to say it was taken around 4 PM (16:00), between some trees. It was so dark that no-flash photography was nearly impossible.
