Harriet I thought the same thing. It's sorta like driving past a car wreck. Once as I drove past I realized that the car was exactly like mine. Luckily it wasn't because the driver did something dumb, she had a seizure and crossed a median too fast and rolled over into the other lanes, luckily nothing hit her and she was fine.
And yes it is interesting and gruesome. It's also a fact of life. Thanks for posting it.

Neat series. It is sad though. But that's life, everything has to eat to survive.

A couple of male blue dasher dragonflies I've photographed lately.

Nice - I like the matching blue eyes too. Dragonflies are one of the best insects of all - in my opinion. Ever have them snatch a deer fly right overhead? I just love it when they do that!

I love photographing those things. They make great subjects. I have a photo of one that I took about a week ago that has a damselfly in it's mouth.

I was thinking of posting this picture as a "Can you find it?" puzzle. But, then, I thought maybe my sick humor might not be appreciated!

A wasp about to get eaten by one of my pitcher plants on the front porch.
