Robber Flies (Family Asilidae) are medium to large flies that prey on other flies and insects. These predatory flies are usually seen either waiting on low perches in open, sunny areas or buzzing around as they look for prey.
As this photo shows, Robber Flies are quite capable of handling large prey, and they will even take on large, dangerous prey like bees and wasps. However, unlike bees and wasps, Robber Flies do not sting, and the "stinger" on this Robber Fly is actually a harmless ovipositor that she uses for laying eggs. Although they do not sting, Robber Flies do bite and their saliva contains neurotoxins to quickly immobilize prey and proteolytic enzymes to dissolve its internal organs so that they can later be easily sucked out. The proboscis of a Robber Fly is specialized for stabbing and sucking, and after one of these flies captures something, it will return to a perch in its territory to suck out its liquefied meal.
Robber Flies have a single pair of powerful wings, spiny legs that aid in grasping prey, a heavily bearded face, and large compound eyes that give them excellent vision for spotting prey.

This is my entry to CABGOII, Phase IV. I’m in the final six, and this is the last entry which determines if I win or not, so wish me luck! Oh, and this is actually just a backup entry in case I don’t finish my UT-AT in time. :P
Better pictures coming soon, hopefully.
