I posted a photo of a Robber Fly before (Robber Fly Turned For Camera) that had turned for a frontal shot. That one was on a gravel road and this one is on a log. These insects are cool to watch and photograph. Most of the time you can get close to them. I have also photographed them with a meal.
I went for a photo walk on a county road near my place in the Ouachita Mountains here in Arkansas. I spotted this Robber Fly and photographed it while hand-holding my camera.
