Robber Fly (Zosteria sp) (10/11)

Diptera: Asilidae

Zosteria sp  

This Robber Fly enjoys beetle juice. Not the Tim Burton movie (Beetlejuice). Not the brightest star in Orion (Betelgeuse). But the real stuff. The stuff you get when you inject a liquefying agent into the body of a beetle and its innards turn to mush. The stuff that you can then suck out with a straw (or a handy proboscis if your face happens to be equipped with such an appendage).

As Quick as microwaving a packet of steamed basmati rice, and no doubt tastier and more nutritious too. Yummy!
