Awesome timing and capture. I've seen them eat each other but have never gotten a good photo of it before. Great work

Wow Phil, what a cool documentation of the event :ivar
I rarely see these damsels, but had no idea they were canibalistic.

Excellent sequence - must admit I didn't know they would take other damsels !

thanks for your comments all, i guess every insect is fair game for a meal, especialy if they have recently emerged.
