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.
