Robber Fly (20421672528)
Description:
Description: I fished her out of a bowl of water but she didn't survive long. The long structure on the tail is an ovipositor. Notice the poisonous beak. I don't know If robber flies bite humans but fortunately she didn't bite me. A healthy robber fly can take down a butterfly in seconds. Date: 15 August 2015, 14:04. Source: Robber Fly.
