I struck out with dragonflies during yesterday morning's hike but I did encounter a cooperative robber fly. Robber flies, such as this male Triorla interrupta, are some of the bad boys of the insect world that, not infrequently, prey upon other insects larger than themselves. Shortly after I took this image, this guy nailed a grasshopper in mid-air. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any images of the robber fly and his brunch.
Perhaps this is a case on not being able to see the forest for the trees but how exactly do I access and update my profile? Is it the same thing as "Preferences"?
I like yours better than the one I posted a few days ago.

Boy this technically perfect in my book Charles. The great pof and dof reveal every detail of this harbinger of doom (for insects at least). I'm glad this species doesn't come in dinosaur size any longer!
