Thanks for sharing! | Hi Jason,
Thankyou for the compliment.
Aparently Emperors will eat 'almost any other flying insect' and will also take small fish on occasion 
Males eat almost exclusively whilst flying, females tend to perch up, or in this case lay down, more.
Cheers,
Adam

Hi Folks,
I sent these pics off to the British Dragonfly Society and they have asked if they can publish them in next Spring's issue of their magazine. How chuffed am I? 
Cheers,
Adam

Blinding shots mate! Great detail and an excellent insight into some rare behaviour. Fantastic news with the magazine response too. |
