Description
Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image.
I have seen about five different species of Robberflies on my place. Some are as small as 1/4" and some as big as 1". Some are very hairy and some are much more streamlined. They are all great hunters.
This is one of the small and more streamlined varieties. It is also the 2nd image in this weeks theme. I have enjoyed the guesses so far but no one has been correct, yet, lol.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

Superb insect portrait!~
MAGNIFICENT MACRO WORK.... ANOTHER WONDERFUL SPECIES
Great pic. I'm off to make a guess.
Love robber fly's and this is a beauty
great capture...
f a n t a s t i s c h e Aufnahme!!!!!!!!
Wonderful macro, great work.
Great pic! Is it going to be things that vomit over their food before they eat it?
Fantastic sharpness and great details! Wonderful!
Excellent
Andrea as taken my guess for today, so I will try and expand on it, is it fly's that deposit their eggs in dead/rotting meat? I never heard the term Robber Fly until I joined RR, and I still don't fully understand it, I guess I'm going to have to look that one up. This is a fantastic specimen Lee and an excellent macro of it, I have never seen one like this, the bulbous body with the legs sort of scrunched up together. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
Robberflys are so cool. This one is excellent lee.
wow, this is an amazing shot.....super pose and depth
Another guess... (remember to put your answer in the form of a question to quality! LOL) Where do maggots come from? Your shot is great. Love those eyes.
Great shot, very clear
