Thanks everyone for the comments!
Balan,
Thanks for your attention. The prey is not a damselfly, but I have no idea what it is, sorry about that. This image was shot near a pond on July 20, 2014 6:00 PM in Montreal. Here is an extraction of another photo taken two minutes before. Hope it is interesting.

Nice find/ capture, Yun. The turquoise blue on green color looks great, and I like the grass seed head. The addition of the prey adds interest. :toast:

Beautiful damselfly. I think the prey might be a katydid.
