Description A big but very skittish robber fly (Ommatius sp. - ID credit: Eric Fisher) with a tiny longhorn beetle prey (Glenea sp.?). I had only two shots, one from slightly further away, and this one. It took after after that and was no where to be foundΒ . Selangor, Malaysia.

That's a wonderful capture in an awesome quality.
But I must say that i am a bit afraid of these flies.
We have a lot of them over here in summer and
I have heard they even bite humans
