Robber Fly – a really good guy
Here’s a few details about the robber fly.
Robber flies are beneficial insects.
Adults eat bees, beetles, dragonflies, other flies,
grasshoppers, leafhoppers, wasps and other insects.
Robber fly Larvae eat organic matter, white grubs,
beetle pupae & grasshopper eggs.
They look like a huge mosquito and quite scary
looking to be such a helpful bug.
Wishing you all fun with the WP photo challenge!

So many bugs look scary and many are very useful 🙂

I agree Laura
I guess we could do a turn on an old phrase and say “You can’t tell a bug by it’s cover.” 😀

Hi Patti
It may not be in your region. It’s big enough that it could be mistaken for a small galley-napper or a huge mosquito.
I’m just glad it’s a beneficial insect. 🙂
