Ant lions look an awful lot like dragonflys.

Somehow in all the books and TV shows about these things, I'd always missed hearing how and what they eat. Then one day I was looking at a speck of a bug floating 30 feet in the air when a dragonfly made it disappear without slowing for even a beat.
That is an absolutely stunning photo of a beautiful creature - I love dragonflies!

From one odeshooter to another: this is terrific, Kurt!
