sorry, forgot to move this one out of ID request
I tagged it to the right species for the predator.

Erythemis simplicicollis & maybe Argia moesta
The predator is definitely an Eastern Pondhawk (female).
Notice the blue color on ventral side of abdomen in female Lasley photos.
See http://bit.ly/trUcq

The victim MAY BE a male Argia moesta


NEAT PHOTOS!
