[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Finally, I encountered this Robberfly with a meal. This process begins with by injecting a fluid into its prey that liquefies the internal parts of the insect so it is easily sucked out. Image was taken using 2X teleconverter and 10mm extension tube to have a better view.

Hi Leo,
This is one of the best macros of a Robberfly I have ever seen. Amazing focus, sharpness and colours.
Well done and TFS.

Nice macro shot of this cool guy, Leo!
