hi 2 u all. I hope you r well. I have posted a few of these photos of my bestest buggy friends, commonly known as the robber fly. these are predator insects, also known as raptoid insects as they eat mainly harmful bugs and r considered one of the gardeners best friends. 4 some reason they like me as well. I have had several land on me this year and the other day this one was found on me in my house...I managed to get it back out and got some really cool captures of it. hope you like this beautiful gift of a bug that I deeply love 4 as with all things it sustains and helps to try and balance nature.
wishing you a peaceful day and nite.

I myself would be hesitant of touching a robber fly, and all I have seen are very afraid of humans being close to them. very good capture I have been fighting a large wasp of some sort making nests in my hose rack. recently I killed many and left them laying there. recently I went to my garage for something and when I came back in a sit down at the computer, my arm was brushing something that felt very rough. I looked and seen one of the wasps on my tshirt. luckily I knocked it off and killed it before it was able to sting me
