Thanks for looking Hobo,, this was shot with a Canon 40D and a Sigma 105mm Macro lens handheldGreat macro!! What lens did you use? Was it on a tripod?
Thanks bradster,, you are right on on your description there, a pretty fierce predator,, they protrude the victim then inject a tissue dissolving fluid then suck the juices out leaving nothing but an empty carcass,, pretty brutal !!Nice shot, man. Robberfly, known for "robbing" other flying insects (such as common flies and butterflies) out of the air. Then piercing their bodies with their mouth parts. Harmless to humans, except if aggrevated to an excessive point. Not like the Horsefly or Dobsonfly which bite when the opportunity arises. Horseflies evolve from a larva of a maggot, and the Dobsonfly evloves from the Hellgramite found in ponds and streams.
Nice capture of this mis-understood species.
Thanks for looking shacowVery nice shot.. and yeas, that is one creepy looking thing
