Image of Common Redcoat Damselfly
Description:
Eating a small moth. Interestingly what appear to be the claspers, for holding onto the female, appear to be the bottom set of appendages to the rear of the abdomen, whereas on the blues it is the upper set. Mind you I haven't got a photo of them fully extended on a red damselfly, so I might be wrong.
