Insect

Tried this little 3/8" long insect again. It was on a daffodil waiting to catch an even smaller bug. I saw it catch a small black bug the size of a pinhead.

Used a 100mm macro lens, and did some lighting effects in photoshop elements.

LOL...that's the junior version. Nice pics, as usual! here's a link to one I ran into last summer. The large version. All robber flies catch their prey on the wing, in most cases. Like insect falcons.http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/my-daily-snapshot/549648-ran-into-robber-fly-yesterday.html
