Description

(better in full size)... Another photo i took at the Wegerzyn Gardens, this time of this super weird bug, which was pretty big, probably more than an inch long. MorningGlory is right, this looks like it is a Robber Fly. Previously: "Cat Paws - Part 3"

Great macro! I wonder if it isn't just a recently emerged dragonfly?

What an amazing creature! I've never seen anything like this, but judging by its body shape, it's definitely a fly of some sort: probably related to a mosquito or crane-fly in some way. It has the shape of a mosquito, but not the coloration or the proportions. It has powerful wing muscles, that's for sure, and it's an amazing insect. This is brilliant!
