I've also seen a violet ground beetle attacking a slug, many(_very_ many!) years ago.

I'm not squeamish but that squished slug quite made me gag Interesting thread though.
The ichneuman turned the tables a bit there , the dragons are great as it the spider - but a little oversaturated IMHO.

I may have put this on already - It would have been nice to post the local sparrowhawk eating our nicely plumped up garden birds but he/she always hides behind the tree branches

Sorry about that. Should have put a warning.
