So we were sitting at our camp for one of our all too few breaks from the monumental task of digging when we heard a quick flutter of wings and a thud. What we found, landed about 4 feet from where I was sitting, was this enticing meal. The dragon fly was about 5 inches long and the butterfly was easily its equal in mass. Upon closer inspection the dragon was mounted on the back and chewing off the head of the butterfly. This went on for about 2 minutes and then the dragon with meal in tow, flew from the ground an landed on a nearby tree to sup. No more than 5 minutes after we see a wing flutter to the ground and the dragon was nowhere to be seen.
