food chainWhat is this bug
I have been surfing the internet trying to find out what this is. I have it live in a baggy with its dead fly it was eating. It seems very aggressive towards me when I move the bag. It was in my garden window.

Hi Sharon,
Great photo of a Robber Fly, Family Asilidae, preying upon a Green Bottle Fly. Robber Flies are common, swift-flying predators. They pounce upon resting insects from above and use the short, strong proboscis to drain their prey’s body fluids, according to the Audubon Guide. On a more personal note, please release it. Sharon, you would act aggressively if someone put you in a bag, wouldn’t you?
