There was a feeding frenzy in the pond, so I took a closer look.
Newts had already consumed the abdomen of a Broad-bodied Chaser Dragonfly and were tucking into the thorax.
Pond skaters were sucking the juices from what remained.
Yum, yum!
Above is a mature male Broad-bodied Chaser Dragonfly, which was flying around the pond as its kinsman was being devoured. Waste not want not is nature's way.
