Robber Fly (Sisyrnodytes sp.)

Sisyrnodytes sp. Found at Karoo Desert National Botanical Garden, N of Worcester. Western Cape, South Africa.

 

I like how the mystax color matches the color of the rocks/soil.

 

These were cute little robbers in the range of 5-7mm. They were relatively common at this reserve and I saw them perching on small rocks, small plants, and the ground.

 

Single exposure, moderately cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
