Due to a typhoon coming I was very fortunate to come across a huge gathering of two kinds of dragonflies feeding. I was lucky enough to get some great close up's. Though at the expense of being buzzed a few times by fighting dragonflies. The coming typhoon brought out lots of mosquitoes, moths and other numerous prey. Non the less these guys were enjoying the buffet! While I attempted to capture the mid air fights and prey catching, I didn't catch a single fight or any prey being devoured. I hope to though someday! Never a dull moment with these guys!
