Robbers Are Mating...
Well so far we have been through hoards of June Bugs, the butterflies are still going at it and I don't know if it is mating, migrating, or both with them and now this. Robber flies are often found at the edge of the woods and fields from what I have read and now observed. I never gave Robbers much thought until I started finding these rather large ones mating and finding them quite often at present.

PBJ sandwiches, unfortunately, are ephemeral. But, maybe I can get a shot of one before it disapperars. Thanks RikSo when do we get to see some pictures of your sandwiches? If sandwich pics were as good as these robberflies, I bet they'd be interesting too.

Very nicely done, and it looks like you are getting some good shots with the new toy. Can you show us a 100% crop of the face on #3?
