Robber Flies are medium to large hunting flies with long strong legs used to catch prey on flight. They have large eyes, and distinct "neck" between the head and abdomen. The abdomen is long and thin. Most species have a beard of stiff bristles (called setae) around the proboscis. Most Robber Flies are brown or reddish-brown in colour. The eyes are large and in some species are reflective. Some species can give people a painful bite. Also known as the Assassin Fly or Bee Killer.
Size
typical size is about 25mm
Food
Adults prey on insects and spiders and can catch insects in flight. Robber Fly larvae feed on soft-bodied insects and other insect larvae.
Breeding
Females lay cream coloured eggs on plants or in soil, bark, or wood. The larvae live in the soil or in rotting wood where they pupate.
Our garden in Warminster. We planted for butterflies and bees last year and this is the second year we have had these visit.
les insectes ça fait peur et ça bouge alors autant prendre des perles
et la c'est mon premier triptyque :)
The children painted with worms (rubber); made a squish painting to show the mirror image of what they painted; made a super cute tissue snail and an insect crayon rubbing. The children then explored several sensory stations. Magnets; rings; fidget toys; sensory bins were multi-colored rice with lizards, dinosaur skeleton dig, fresh made play dough. Other sensory tables items included gel spiders, stack wood beads on a stick, counting and picking up numerous insects, and sensory houses.

I can fit three in my hand. They are very sluggish insects and hardly responded to me picking them up. They seem near death.

Unidentified insect. A cricket of some sort? 3 February 2018. Tortuguero, Costa Rica.

Can anyone identify this insect, please?

I love hearing the crickets, grasshoppers, and other insects at the end of summer, especially in fields like this & at night.

[editar datos en Wikidata]
El término avispa se aplica de diversas maneras a distintos taxones de insectos del orden Hymenoptera. La definición más extensa es la que considera avispa a todo himenóptero no clasificado como hormiga o abeja.1 Más estricta es la definición de la RAE, según la cual «avispa» es el insecto himenóptero de tamaño moderado (1-1,5 cm), de color amarillo con bandas negras, dotado de aguijón venenoso y que vive en sociedad.2 La alusión al comportamiento social puede hacer esta definición excesivamente limitada respecto al uso común del término, ya que usualmente se emplea basándose únicamente en la apariencia y sin distinguir el comportamiento social. La definición taxonómicamente más ajustada se refiere a los insectos de la familia Vespidae.
Términos derivados usualmente empleados son «avispilla» y «avispón». El primero se emplea para los himenópteros de pequeño tamaño (excluidas las hormigas), mientras que el segundo se aplica a los de gran tamaño (principalmente al género Vespa, y más concretamente a Vespa crabro).

La inmensa mayoría de las avispas son parásitos (o más bien parasitoides) o predadoras. Esto les confiere un papel determinante en la ecología de sus biotopos, y ha propiciado su empleo en el control biológico de plagas. Algunas avispas tienen un papel polinizador que puede llegar a ser muy específico, como en el caso de la higuera, cuyas flores son fertilizadas por la avispa de los higos
