A Hanging Thief Robber Fly, they get the name from the way they eat their food. By hanging from their front two legs,while the other four legs hold their meal. I photograph them in my yard when mid summer arrives.

Very nice Betty. And bravo for correctly identifying your insect subjects!
Betty LaRue replied:
Thank you so much, Tim! I've spent a lot of time looking up those insects, more than taking their pictures, lol! It's important, though.
