Being fed up with the dark and dank weather trawled through some of Novembers shots from the sunshine.
It was actually eating a small fly it had trapped on the flower.although there are necter eating Odanata, or so I am told.

that's a nice shot Paul, I like the lighting and the dragonfly's pose. Was this taken overseas? I'm struggling to ID the dragonfly - a Red-Veined Darter maybe? It's a slight shame the tip of the tail is OOF but only a minor nit.

That's a very nice one.
May be next time you can have a more blurred BG.
A nice christmas to you too.

A striking shot Paul, far from turning veggie I think this one has been eating flamingos

Thank you for your comments, I have added some blur to the BG hope it is not to much?
