It won't take any more cropping, it is only one fifth of the original already!

Excellent find and capture, amazing what is going on around us if we only take the time to look a little closer and discover those special shots... macabre insect lunch or others.

Stunning pair of images. A rather scary looking robber fly. I'm guessing this was not a friendly encounter.

Another fine macro of nature at work. The Robber Fly must be in dire straits if has to resort to munching on bland leaves for sustenance, Andrea.
