Robber fly
Hi All!
Posting something after a long long time.
Robber flies are the top guns of the insect world.
They are predators who catch other flying insects in flight.
The thorny legs grip the prey tightly.
The stabbing and sucking mouth parts deliver a fatal neurotoxic venom and then suck the prey dry.
The thick bristles are meant to protect the robberflies delicate eyes and head from the prey struggling or fighting back.
