It's the adult (imago) emerging and drying after emerging from the larval stage. What you can see the old exoskeleton of the nymp that the adult has just burst out of

janey Thats just made that picture even cooler.:thumbup:and me rather embarrassed:blushing: thanks for the insight though must look harder next time.

Easy mistake to make as that's what it looks like . They are forocious hunters and will attack other insects that are almost their own size.

 

I love 'em!
