The above photo shows an intraspecific predation, where one robber fly whacked another subspecies of his own kind.
For a closer look at a much larger version of this photo (which was taken by a simple point-n-shoot), I think you'll agree that it was a pretty bad-azz shot ... for a $450 camera
Enjoy!

Great shot, John. Beautifully sharp and clear. You caught the moment and focussing is spot on.

Thanks Ray!
Every so often my finger moves at just the right time, instead of too late or too early

That's a great shot John, but if you start getting nightmares featuring winged, fluid-sucking monsters, it may be time to switch to butterflies or ducks.

LOL, I just got some more "fluid-sucking" monsters the last couple of days, but fortunately these don't fly

You're not refering to somebody in one of the other threads, are you?

Heh-heh, no, but it's a helluva funny thought Eric
Actually, I meant this kind of fluid sucker:

I love your gruesome, blood-sucking photos, Jack!
I'm curious: I assume you must be using "live view" or something like that to frame your macro shots. True? Maybe it's time for me to upgrade my lowly S60 to a G9 or G10.

Thanks!
Yes, moving my ugly mug up to the camera would most likely scare those critters off, LOL
All I do is slowly extend my arm toward the insect/spider, look through live view on "macro" mode, hit pre-focus, and then push my finger.
I have zero photographic expertise, just a pretty good lil' ol' point-n-shoot

There's something decidedly alien about macro insect/arachnid shots. Definitely gives me the creeps - well done! Fantastic captures.
Cheers,

"Decidedly alien" ... that is a very good way to put it. That is exactly the feeling I get myself.
Speaking of an "alien" feeling, here is a shot I took at about 12 midnight, from the position of being directly under a Giant Lichen Orb spider as she was descending downwards building her web:
