Red-footed Cannibalfly

Promachus rufipes

Description:

When I spotted this robber fly I knew it had some prey, but was only after looking at picture I realize it was another of the same species, likely her lover from what I read. These things are real beasts, reportedly attempting taking down hummingbirds. Check this link for some surprising hummingbird predators, http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek070901...
