I don't recognize either of these, Tom. I did get a Progressive Bee Fly last summer and that was the first one of those I had ever seen. There are so many things none of us get to see much less photo.
ReplyDeleteYour close-ups are really very outstanding. I have to use a 2x or 4x magnifier to get this close.
Great shot! Robber flies intimidate even me!
ReplyDeleteSuperb capture Tom, amazing.
ReplyDeleteAbe- I think the prey is a Syrphid fly- also called hover fly or flower fly. They're tiny but I've seen them pretty often on flowers. My sigma 180 lens let's me see so much more than I can see with my own eyes, I love digital photography!
ReplyDeleteScott- I must say that this was not my own arm, but that of a co-worker. He didn't know much about robber flies- I don't think I would have waited as long as he did with it on him- but kudos and thanks to him for giving me this photo opportunity.
Thanks Dan!

Ummm... wow, Tom. That's very cool. -Heather (of the Hills)
