Killer Side, Pt. 2 - _TNY_0551

This moustached killer is most likely a common awl robberfly (Neoitamus cyanurus) which I found trapped inside the greenhouse which allowed me to get very close for a few shots before I let it out.

 

Since I had the MP-E65mm on the camera at the moment and the fly was tired, my shots ended up on the close side rather than of the entire animal.
