Four-spotted Skimmer dragonfly

Indy and I went off through the swamps today.  The place was alive with predators and prey.  The mosquitoes and small biting flies were out in abundance.  They were the predators and I was the prey.  No worries though since my neighbor Anita gave me some of her bug spray and I carry along a bottle in the camera case.  Damselflies and dragonflies were flying too. Now it was the mosquitoes who were prey since a dragonfly likes nothing better than a 'McBug' sandwich.   Since I was trying to get a decent picture for identification I became a dragonfly hunter and they became my prey.  (Fortunately for them I don't find the idea of dragonfly 'filets' appetizing.)
