Rambur's Forktail ♀

Ischnura ramburii

Description:

I was trying to get a picture of this red/orange damselfly when it attacked this gray damselfly. After just a little, its prey's head fell off and it began feasting. Video: http://www.youtube.com/v/AhutxLKCgMw

Habitat:

Suburban yard amongst some tall weeds
