Description
Nikon 7900 image.
This particular species of Robber fly is much bigger than any I have ever seen. He was almost as big as my thumb. Much larger than even the Giant Robber fly.
I have not been able to identify the exact species even after several hours of on-line research. It is not the same species as I showed in my posting entitled "A Charming Absurdity"
He returned to the same area for several days but has since not been seen by me since the last week of June.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

Magnificent Macro! Great full-size. Made me shiver...lol.
Brilliant!!!!!
That's a bigg'un alright! Nice closeup Lee!
What a wonderful shot maybe there is a nuclear power station nearby! He is a whopper|
Nice capture...
My father always said that to hold someones interest you always should leave something to the imagination - create an air of mystery. But in this case, I am so pleased you captured every detail possible. Magnificent.
Almost as big as your thumb?! It looks massive in your image too... I think I'll go with danob's idea about a nearby nuclear power plant:)
LOL @ Danob!! A superb macro shot but considering the size of it, perhaps macro is not the right word!?? Excellent details and composition. xx
Excellent macro!
We have begun finding flies as big as our thumbs as well. Perhaps e.e.cummings was right and the bugs will take over.
Fantastic macro capture. Love the details you captured in this. Excellent colors. Bunny
Very nice work!
Very beautiful picture!! Roby
Beautiful shot and incredible detail !
