A beautiful video by @vishalvjadhav Thank you for sharing. Be sure to extend your support by visiting this beautiful gallery and photographer. Robberflies (family Asilidae) are ferocious and agile aerial predators, using their powerful, spiny legs to swiftly capture other flying insects, including bees and wasps, often mid-air. Once caught, they inject the prey with a neurotoxic and digestive saliva via a dagger-like proboscis before sucking out the liquified internal contents. #insectsofinstagr
