Excellent shots.

The prey doesn't look that much bigger than a wafer thin mint though...!

At first I thought the robber was the victim, then I saw what was going on.
Super one Alby.

Thanks Guys , I didn't even notice the prey until I got home and put it on the laptop

Excellent captures Alby - must be the equivalent of a milkyway snack

Thanks Alliec,

Great bug shots. That's some detail you captured.

Oh brilliant shots.

You know I managed to get one of these as well on Sunday, just the one shot and its almost identical to yours lol. Will post mine up when I have processed it so you can see how very similar it is to yours. Mine is also on wood and also had a very small fly, but I only managed the one shot as I was balancing on the garden chair, it tipped and I nearly fell off lol, threw my arm up in the air and frightened the fly off You managed to get more detail than I did tho lol.

That conjures up a rather hilarious picture Linda I trust you are fine after your ordeal. I shot this one at Monkey World in Dorset, there were loads of them there.

Robbers really are the muscle men of the diptera world. Excellent detail.

very contented looking ape, pretty muscular themselves.

awesome shot. what is a FZ8? and raynox 250 for that matter!
