Robber.

Mar 23rd, 2006 by Duncan

I was going through files tonight cleaning out stuff, and found this picture of a Robber Fly and prey, which I took some time ago and didn’t get round to using. It was only a small one, less than an inch long, and it had caught a moth for lunch.

    Robber flies are brilliant — I’ve had a thing for them for as long as I remember. They’re particularly spectacular viewed under a good stereomicroscope: all bristles and attitude. Unfortunately, you can only see them under a microscope when they’re dead — a good reason to thank you for showing us this closeup view of a live one. Cheers Duncan.

    Great photo of the Robber fly, Duncan! They’re so quick that it’s always a challenge to get a good shot — which you certainly have.
