Robber Fly with prey
Female Proctacanthus hinei Bromley 1928, I believe. Found at Spring Green Preserve SNA in south west-central Wisconsin. Sauk County, Wisconsin, USA.
Found in high-quality sandy prairie. Bumble bee as prey. Took a little chasing but she finally allowed me to approach for closeup shots.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
