Does anyone happen to know what type of bug is eating the fly? |

| reply to sandman2869 I have to go along with the Robber Fly. What ever it is, your shot is marvelous along with whatever it's sitting upon. Your detail and lighting are terrific. -- JKK Age is a very high price to pay for my maturity. If I can't stay young, I can at least stay immature! »www.pbase.com/jaykaykay |

Thanks for the ID and kind words. Here are a few more shots of it. It was quite scary to watch that poor little fly (never thought I would say that!) get eaten up. |
