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.

Robber flies are superb hunters—their visual acuity is also the stuff of legend:

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

Another shot of a gnat ogre (Holcocephala fusca), a type of small robber fly. Like other robber flies, these specialize in eating other insects. Central Park in late July.
