Hanging Thief Robber Fly (Diogmites crudelis) (7736461008)
Description:
Description: A large, formidable looking robber fly watches for prey in our local urban natural area. Faeries (sylphs) tame these to use as winged mounts in battle. Seeing a squadron of them flying by in formation with spears gleaming and banners waving is an awesome sight! * (*Warning-unscientific daydream-induced flight of fancy. There is no evidence to suggest mythological creatures use Diogmites as aerial cavalry mounts.). Date: 4 August 2012, 09:10.
