Eastern Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis)

Petrie Island

I came across this female eating another female in the vegetation near where I had parked. Pondhawks are voracious predators which are well known for hunting large insects, including its own species! As is usually the case when it catches a large insect, it devours it head-first.
