Unidentified Dragonfly Devouring Asian Lady Beetle [Harmonia axyridis]

   As this reporter walked along the shoreline of a retention pond in northwestern Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida on 5/10/2011, the dragonfly pictured below landed on my chest and proceeded to devour an Asian Lady Beetle that it had recently captured. After photographs were taken, the dragonfly was brushed off but immediately returned and landed on my shoulder to finish up its meal.
