VERY LARGE ROBBER FLY
I’VE ALWAYS CALLED THEM PREDATOR FLY..BUT IT SEEMS IT’S A ROBBER FLY. THIS VERY LARGE ONE WAS ON MY DECK RAIL. IT’S LENGTH IS AT LEAST 2″, THE LARGEST I’VE EVER SEEN. THAT YELLOW JACKET IS ABOUT 5/8″ LONG TO GIVE A COMPARISON. JUST WANTED TO SHARE.

Hi Ron,
Your Giant Robber Fly is sure impressive, and justifiably earns the name Predator Fly. We believe this is Promachus hinei.
