Thanks John. There are > 7000 species of robber flies in the world, some
of them looking like wasps.
They sting and paralyze their victims.
Their mathematic skills must be great, because I read they predict the
traject of their preys in flight.

Great shot Henk - I believe I would have called that a dragonfly!
On the Island of St. Helena, I once watched a brilliant green wasp killing a
cockroach: never saw it again and did not have a camera on me at the time!

Subject: PESO: robber fly
Since I once saw a robber fly attacking a damselfy I'm fascinated by these
killing machines.
There aren't many around that I can see, but today - a cold and wet day
- one was hiding on a leaf in the bushes.
Since this fly was not afraid of me I could get pretty close with the macro
lens.
