Default Dragon Feast!

Good Morning from South Korea DPS Family!
This is a capture that I've had for awhile and wasn't sure if I wanted to post it, but here it is.
It appears to show a Dragon Fly feeding on an Insect, but if you look closely, you can see what appears to be an eye looking out from the insect as it's being consumed. I personally found it kind of disturbing as the eye looks almost human.

Thanks for looking and Have a Blessed Day!
Michael.

A little disturbing maybe, but it is part of the circle of life. A really good shot and thank you for sharing.

This is an ace capture, not sharing it would have been a sin. Thanks

Michael you did it again with your creepy crawlies! I am squirming in my seat as I look at your picture,ugh!! A second look reveals a really excellent photograph, the clarity is tremendous, this is the type of shot that you would expect to see in National Geographic. A third look and I am back to sqirming!!

If you look at the original real close to the dragonflys eye in the upr part, you'll see the little sparkle in the black eye. Anyway Thanks for looking Patrick!

Sorry Michael I don't find this disturbing at all, it's just nature's way and this is one of the better shots you have shown, great job and don't hold out on us.
