Adult robber flies perch on stems of low plants or other objects and attack prey in the air. They feed on bees, beetles, dragonflies, other flies, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, wasps, and other insects.

I started another Blog to show some of the wildlife photos that are stuck away in my archives. Please visit my other blog if you get a chance.

also have a few macros of this fly. It’s an amazing sight to watch them hunt (and at first pretty scary to hear them fly by, you think like there’s an old airplane going by you).
Nice capture steve
