I heard something above me. Then I seen something leap onto a branch. At first I thought it was a lizard. (There everywhere down here) Then I looked again. "It's a bug." A grasshopper on steroids. In Western Washington, the grasshoppers I grew up with were approximately 1" long. Here in Florida they are monsters. This guy was about 4 inches.

What's For Lunch
I walked the edge of the water to see if he had flown to some tree close, and that's when I spotted two dragonflies. I thought that they may be mating. The two landed, and I began to snap pictures. That's when I discovered I wasn't the only one on a lunch break. One dragonfly was devouring the other.
The dragonfly book I have doesn't mention anything about them being cannibals.
By the way Gerry, I took your advise, and fixed my comment settings.
