Robber Flies

Below will be a collection of Robber Fly photos. This page is just getting started (August 2004) and I will add more species as time permits. To begin with there are only a few species shown. My thanks to Giff Beaton, Michael Thomas, Herschel Raney and Jeff Barnes for helping me learn more about these interesting predatory insects and for making many identifications from my photos.
