A damselfly relishing on its prey, probably a small moth

Spotted this small beauty busy eating off the fresh catch, and I dont know if the prey was still alive or if the damsel was cutting it off very ruthlessly, the small figments of the prey's wings were getting scattered all around, seen in this frame, and within a mother of seconds the whole prey was reduced to a small leftover pile.

Good you could observe and capture this action from so close. Good details. The sharp objects on the leaf are quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting sighting. How much of a crop is this?

This was a full frame, just cropped it to 16*9 format, just exploring wide viewing format
