ID: Robberfly
A close up shot of a very cooperative Robberfly, perched on a Cockscomb flower. Never realized, until I captured this frame, that robberflies have an interesting beak that protrudes out of the dense, thorny, hairs that they have towards its frontal area. With the sun's light shining brightly on one side, it gave an interesting green shine to the complex eye.
