It one EVER wondered what the details of a robber fly looks like, this is an excellent photo to demonstrate it! As much as I do not like flies, I can fully appreciate all the details seen on this capture. Wow, just look at the individual hairs on it's legs and face - who knew it was 'bearded'?:-) And the details in the compound eyes - you can literally count the dots in its eyes! Fabulous macro capture - hats off to you for patience to get this shot. Flying insects rarely stay fixed for long so you probably had seconds to get the focus right.

Dude! Rad facial hair! (This is delightful - and I never thought I'd think of a bug as cute, but he is!)
