Neoitamus Robberfly

Description:

Neoitamus Robberfly resting on a muscadine vine. From wikipedia: "They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypopharynx. The name "robber flies" reflects their notoriously aggressive predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and as a rule they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight."

Habitat:

Overgrown vined (muscadines & honeysuckle) area in back yard.
