Fascinating Robber Fly on Rusty Barbed Wire | 10% Beneficiary to shy-fox

This robber fly was found standing on a rusty barbed wire fence in my backyard. Robber fly is a well-known predatory insect that is capable of catching prey while flying but they and as flexible hunters that usually catch prey smaller than their body size. Robber fly belongs to the family Asilidae. Having this capability, robber fly is regarded as a notoriously aggressive predatory habit. I used to find this typical insect in the wood, but this afternoon, it came up right on here unexpectedly which urged me to take some shots and it is always good finding this outside of my house. This predatory insect was even more fascinating when standing on top of the barbed wire that was seen likely climbing on top to reach something.

This is another typical little robber fly that sometimes gives me hard time getting its photos. However, taking macro photos is all about patience if we don't have that, we absolutely unable to get the expected results. Most robber flies live around the swamp or wet area but we also can find them occasionally in a dried area. Some of which has different size and color. Considering, it's been while I don't take photos with a smartphone, I managed to get its photo from a different angle. Indeed, it flew when noticed me taking photos, but after some time, it returned to the spot.
