I think I saw one today in my tomatoe garden, capture a green caterpillar, and after a brief fight, fly off with it. This occured a few inches from me, while i was picking rasberries. The whole thing lasted only mayby 15 seconds.

Excellent macro, Christine. It seems to "jump" off the page - but let's hope it doesn't! V.
