This Giant Darner, North America's largest Odonate, is feeding on a White-belted Ringtail. The Giant Darner rarely land except to feed, so we were definately in the right place at the right time when this male decided to catch this Ringtail and land at our eye level!
He ate every part except the wings and then flew away (no belch:D:D).
Captured with a Nikon D200, 80-400mmVR at 400mm, 1/1000th sec, f8, ISO 400, manual exp mode, spot meter mode, fill flash with SB800 -2.0. PP in CS3, cloning and quick masking hear and there, cropped about 50%.
