Jae, Thanks! It looks like a match.

Brian38, Thanks!

Thanks Brian38. I looked up the robber fly. I saw images of the red-footed cannibal fly and think they are a good match. Are the robber fly and red-footed cannibal fly in the same family?

The wings look more like a wasp's or bee's wings

Mark, I agree. It's a beautiful critter. The turquoise and yellow look like ceramic glaze. Love it!

Wow! That was fast! Thanks.

Best,

Edie

Without question, that's it! Thanks Ornithoptera80 and MichaelS! I'll definitely be sending more pic.s. Photographing insects and flowers is my hobby. I know very little about either. Time to learn!
