- the many faces of Nature

- in the family of Robber Flies
- this predator either waits or catches his prey in mid-air
- including butterflies and bees
- this is my first experience with them
- after living in Florida, thought I'd seen most weird-looking critters
- the Skipper butterflies were all over the place
- flying much more than usual around the Buddleia davidii
- the Skippers usually find a good flower and camp out
- same with the large bees
- this guy was even going after the Snowberry Clearwing Moth - in the Hummingbird Moth family - well really was after 2 of them
- don't think he caught anything that evening
