ID of this horse fly would very welcome!
It was a big bugger about 3.5 cm, sat on my garden gate when i returned from walking the dogs this morning im presuming its a male due to having plain eyes.(the colour of the antenna is causing me problems with id)
A nice treat for Flyday. HFDF
The robber flies are an abundant and diverse family within the order Diptera that are known for their predatory behavior. Asilidae diversity can be attributed to their broad distribution; most species tend to occupy a selective niche. As their common name implies, robber flies have voracious appetites and feed on a vast array of other arthropods, which may help to maintain a healthy balance between insect populations in various habitats. Asilidae adults attack wasps, bees, dragonflies, grasshoppers, other flies, and some spiders. Robber flies are particularly abundant in arid and sunny habitats, which are optimal conditions in which to observe their many morphs and behaviors.
