Prédation chez les libellules: Ishcnure élégante “casse la croûte” de bébé portecoupe! Ishnure elegans VS Enallagma cyathigerum<\/p>\n

Non, rien de barbare dans cette scène parfaitement normale dans le monde des odonates où une libellule en mange une autre!<\/p>\n

Les Agrions portecoupes sont extrêment nombreux et sont donc souvent et facilement prédatés, par d’autres odonates entre autres.<\/p>\n

Pas vraiment du cannibalisme, les demoiselles étant d’espèces différentes.Blue-tailed Damselfly has dinner “with” a Common Blue Damselfly!<\/p>\n

Not really a cannibalism scene but close. On this fabulous site where 10 odonates take off at every step, I was taking pics of something else when my eye perceived an unusual movement. My favorite form of Blue-tailed Damselfly! Its strange flight becomes clear…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sous ce baiser de la mort, les mandibules de l’Ischnure s’appliquent à faire un trou dans l’exosquelette de sa proie pour atteindre les organes du thorax.<\/p>\n

It has a sized prey in the mandibles, nested between the legs for a big cuddle… Well, maybe not!!!
\nThe unfortunate Common blue is slightly bigger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La proie, bien calée entre les 6 pattes du prédateur, tente de s’échapper en grimpant vers le haut de la tige:The prey, held tightly between the 6 legs, tries desperately to escape as it climbs towards the end of the grass blade:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

L’ischnure poursuit en découpant les ailes puis sépare l’abdomen du thorax:The Blue-tailed goes on by slicing off the wings neatly then separates the abdomen from the thorax:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On peut voir ici que que l’ischnure est hautement parasitée sur les derniers segments de son abdomen:The Blue-tailed has quite a few parasites on the last segments of its abdomen:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

La Nature ne fait pas dans la sensiblerie:<\/p>\n

Over-sensitivity has no place in Nature:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
