Robber Flies
Family Asilidae

Below will be a collection of Robber Fly photos. This page was begun in August, 2004, and I will add images as I am able to. My thanks to Giff Beaton, Michael Thomas, Riley Nelson, Eric Fisher, Herschel Raney and Jeff Barnes for helping me learn more about these interesting predatory insects and for making many identifications from my photos.
