Peltodytes beetle attacking damselfly larva - Peltodytes
Lewes, Catfish County, Delaware, USA
April 25, 2009
In this shot, the beetle appears to be ducking for cover, as if in anticipation of a counterattack from the damselfly. The mobility of the damselfly is impaired by the loss of its first and second legs on the right side.
