Great shots Brian. The dragon must have been snoozing, otherwise, I would think the BF would make a tasty snack.

Thanks Keith for the comments.
These darters seem to prefer small flies such as midges for food.

Ah ha, After posting, I wondered what the host plant for the Gate Keeper is, and if it had built-in toxicity? However it doesn't seem to advertise the classic Aposematic coloration.
