Robber fly, Machimus sp.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2013 5:27 am

This is a robber fly. It will kill anything that it can catch, including other robber flies. If you look closely you can see that it is enjoying a small snack. It is about 3/4 inch long so you have to get rather close to them.
