Super Massive Robber Fly

[TheFantasticG]

I only got one shot before it freaked out and flew off. Blew my mind how massive this thing is. It is all of 2" long and an 1" wide. That is absolutely massive for a Robber Fly. First of these I've seen in the two years I've been wondering the lands with a camera looking for bugs.

Is it just me or does that thing look like an Ewok?

Hahaa! I hadn't thought of it. I'm still in shock over the massive size of this robber.
