Robber Fly with prey
Female Psilocurus nudiusculus Loew, 1874. Thanks to Eric Fisher for providing the species determination on bugguide. Found at Resaca De La Palma State Park in far southern Texas. Cameron County, Texas, USA.
Yellowthroat Loop at this State Park is an awesome site to study these flies. They are locally abundant at this time on this trail. I got several shots with prey and barely missed getting a mating shot.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
