They also come in blue, black, and grey varieties depending on where you're finding them. Generally, you know it's a Robber Fly if it's got a mustache.
Mike, do you know the difference between a hanging thief robber fly and a Prairie? I have a video of one killing a honeybee. I want to upload it and I'm not sure how to label it. In the end I sprayed the robber fly with wasp spray because I couldn't stand seeing it kill one of 'MY" bees. I'm not sure if I will include that part to the video, but to me it is so satisfying to see that "ratfink" die. I love your videos! Thanks, Teresa
"Rat Fink." Absolutely fitting!
Hi Mike. My kids and I enjoy your videos. We started with the excellent lacewing video after finding one in our house.
Outstanding work Mike... Keep it up ... xxx ;-)

I was looking for a video of a robber fly being stung by a wasap. Surprise it didn't comeback to eat it.
*Another rat fink: Cuckoo birds.*
I think they are turning them around to get all the liquids, like a Slurpee!
I love that they kill wasps I hate that they kill bees and dragonflies, But that's nature for you.
