I found this pair of Sprites about to mate. I think that the white on the male's forehead (on the right) probably makes these Kersten's Sprite (Pseudagrion kersteni.) While watching, the male suddenly left, the female after a momentary struggle fell the victim of the fishing spider. I felt rather sad.
The spider I think is a Thalassius sp. (family Pisauridae: presumably related to fishing.)
