Not a great photo, but unusual in that it was very still and stayed put when I took a photo. I don't know what it is though..

This record applies to the prey - see associated record for the predator. The predator was photographed walking on the water surface of a muddy puddle in fynbos. I did not see it catch the prey and don't know the fate of the prey's head. It held on to the prey for a few minutes and eventually discarded it on the water surface.
