They might not win any beauty contests, but up close robber flies are a marvel of intricately assembled building blocks.

Fantastic shot.
I wouldn't want to meet this guy in a dark alley.

Thank you for all of the kind comments. Off now to look for more of the wee beasties.

Masterfully photographed.  I agree - scary as hell.  One has to wonder what all those hairs are for.

Or not. Maybe best forgotten.

Again, superb job.  How you can get that magnification is amazing.
