Robber fly

Description:

Robber flies take their prey on the wing. The fly attacks its prey by stabbing it with its short, strong proboscis injecting the victim with saliva containing neurotoxic and proteolytic enzymes which very rapidly paralyze the victim and soon digest the insides; the fly then sucks the liquefied material through the proboscis.

Notes:

Spotted at Injisthi, in the Drakensberg, KZN
