I found a dead Beelzebub Bee-Eater (Mallophora leschenaulti) on the ground today! Poor bug has seen better days, but there's a remarkable new species for the life list.

Is it a wasp! No, it's a robber fly pretending to be a wasp.

This is the NZ endemic species, Saropogon antipodus (it has no common name). This is the first one I've seen.

A student on our recent ecology field trip found it on the floor of the Boyle Outdoor Education Centre, and thought it was a wasp (mimicry successful!).

There are 52 observations so far on and this is the first from the Southern Alps.

Archiv: In den Visier der Gelben Mordfliege (Laphria flava) will man insbesondere als Kleininsekt nicht gelangen. Einem Fotograf kann es aber durchaus recht sein.

A large, bristly robber fly, no doubt up to no good.

A tiny "gnat ogre" (a kind of robber fly) perches on the tip of a twig while waiting for dinner (a gnat, or similar-sized insect) to fly by. While he waits, an even tinier red mite snacks on HIM.

An evil, scheming robber coolly considers dropping its prey (a tiny bee or wasp) in exchange for the viewer.

() sind oft tolle Fotomotive - wenn sie denn sitzen bleiben 😅.
Hier ein Weibchen von vermutlich atricapillus. Am Foto sind die Weibchen nicht gut zu bestimmen...
