Robber Fly:

Robber flies are interesting insects. Fierce predators that snatch prey in mid-air or steal booty from other predators. It is a beneficial insect- hunting common agricultural pests but it's not your friend. Accidently piss one off and a nasty welt is often the repercussion. This female fly has mistaken the steel cable as a suitable place to deposit her eggs.
