Description


I have yet to ID this superb creature, but Juliette sent me a marvellous PDF of all the robber flies of Northern Europe which I shall use shortly. I think lunch is an Alderfly. There are two more of this incident Here and Here

An amazing shot here, initially it's hard to see what is going on and where one insect starts and another begins and what is prey and what is not but closer detail on zoom answers these questions. Great observation in capturing this.

Three outstanding images. The head-on shot is beyond excellent. What an evil looking creature. Have the authorities been notified about what is obviously a case of (dunt-dunt-dunnn) murder!?

A superb capture of an event in nature that most of us would miss altogether.
