Female Robber flies are ferocious hunters
This is my 3rd live encounter with Robber flies in the desert
I was searching for desert dwelling beetles during my early morning hike, when a large fly buzzed passed me and then landed on the sand. Its large and piercing blue-green eyes immediately got my attention. It was a female Robber fly setting up herself for another flight prowl in search for prey. This will be my 3rd encounter with the ASILIDAE here in the UAE. I had two sightings on the trails in Maleha, Sharjah and this will be my first in Dubai.
By the way ROBBER FLIES are also known as ASSASSIN FLIES!
