A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
At first glance it was difficult to tell what this is but on close-up it became clear that ants were efficiently dismatling a dragon fly. Most pices are still there but some are missing and some are well out of place.
Public parkland with mixed native trees and shrubs.
Yet to search for species... might be a bit difficult for the dragonfly.

When I was a kid I spent hours watching ants cutting and carrying huge grasshoppers and beetles to their nest. They would leave nothing behind!
I would love to get a time-lapse video of this. Nature wastes nothing.
Wow! Nice catch. Here is the global dragonfly/damselfly mission:
