Very large robber fly attacking a cicada. I took this photo years ago, and for some reason I just forgot about it. I don't know how considering how interesting it is.

I honestly cannot narrow down what this robber fly is, but that’s how it is sometimes in entomology! Any input is appreciated :)

Hanging-thief giving herself a wash on my hand, these guys are the coolest and I say that about all critters but cmon. They get their name from the way they hang off objects and hold their prey, that’s rad as hell.
