Perched Atop

I watched this dragonfly, perched atop a hosta stem, hunt for other insects. They're interesting creatures, if you ever get a chance to observe them. 

I guess dragonflies have quite the appetite, eating at times the equivalent of their own body weight in 30 minutes. Wow! 

They look so majestic and innocent don't they? But they're actually stalking predators that devour many other insects. That's fine with me though! Dragonflies can feast all they want on mosquitos and ants. Get rid of those annoying buggers!
