The Robber Fly

Eeyore's been prowling about his tiny meadow with the camera and got a terrific shot of this guy! When he was growing up, he heard these insects called Fly Hawks as they can zoom through the air and capture a fly on the fly.....ahh....in midair.
They are more commonly known as Robber Flies and they love to eat flies as well as other insects. I, for one, am grateful to them for in any way reducing the population of those nasty, and annoying scavengers!
What's that bug has an assortment of assassin insects. Strange looking fellows indeed!

I do hope you click on this to get the full impact of his wonderful, furry, mask like face!


Omegamom and Catalyst have posted their memes, both fun and insightful, and a real bonus is the Half-Baked Sourdough who's added her own crusty version.

P. S. Katie at Cosmos has just responded to the memes with some thoughtful answers. I especially loved her super power.
