Hello
That's my first picture of robberfly I've ever taken.
Robberflies belong to Diptera and the family Asilidae.
They are predators actively hunting for other insects and spiders.
They are very fast fliers and when hunting they sit in one place waiting and when seeing the prey almost jumping to caych it.
Thanks for stopping
Ania

Hi Ania,
very good action shot on this murderous fly! Excellent: the flies are in the shadow, very advantageous in the case of dark or reflective objects. Well done, Ania.
Best regards
