This is the gruesome moment a dragonfly was seen eating another dragonfly in a park in Minnesota.

Stomach-turning footage shows the insect munching on the headless body of its own kind at the Voyageurs National Park.

Dragonflies belong to the scientific order Odonata, which means 'toothed one' in Greek, and refers to their serrated teeth.

A single dragonfly can eat between 30 and 100 mosquitoes daily, but they can be driven to cannibalism due to high population density and food availability.
