Excellent capture, not your normal shot of a Damselfly.

Certainly a damselfly, but I am not sure what is being eaten. I agree with your comments about tripods, they are not always very practical for this type of work. If the light makes it necessary I sometimes find a monopod provides a good compromise, although it won't help with wind movement
an excellent shot, It is definitly a damselfly

Got the focus where it counts (and I dream of f16! LOL!).
Surprised you couldn't come down from 1/750 - unless it was because of the wind - I use between 1/160-1/250 tho' admittedly with a 105mm
Common Blue, by the looks of it

I love this picture as it's an unusual damselfly moment and well captured too.
The victim looks to be some kind of leaf hopper larval stage. An insect that lives like aphids but sheds it's skin becomming progressively larger till it develops wings. This is an early stage that hasn't yet begun to develop wings.

The main features are nicely in the dof, well caught action macro.
