Description

Robber flies are not to be trifled with... Capable of immobilizing bees, wasps and other insects larger than itself, robberflies catch their prey in mid air. As with other aerial predators, robberflies have excellent vision, characterized by two conspicuous compound eyes. taken from an excellent site about insects : http://www.insects.org Thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload :

Nice one!! :) I saw my first roberfly this summer; strange stumpy looking dragonfly-kind of thing, I thought what the heck is this? Ever since, I've seen so many ... not only outside here but also here in the gallerys. This is excellent :)
