ID: Robberfly with Midge catch
Came across this tiny beauty surprisingly slowly moving around. Later when the colleague tried framing it we realized the reason for its lethargy. It seemed to have been devouring on the morning catch of a non biting midge, and rather enjoying it enough to let us frame it comfortably. The robberfly was so small that the midge seemed pretty big, probably a plentiful breakfast for it. With the receding downpour, a water droplet was caught on the tip of the twig, looking like the cherry on top of the beautiful cake.
EXIF:
Canon 80D
Canon 100mm macro + Raynox
F/10
Shutterspeed 1/160
ISO 320
Handheld, External flash fired
Location: Nagla trail
