food chainWhat is this bug?
This wasp looking thing was found stalking butterflies on the Mogollon Rim area of Northern Arizona around Payson
Thank you
This is some species of Robber Fly, but we have not been successful in locating a match on BugGuide. The red wings are quite distinctive. The prey is a Sulphur Butterfly. We hope Eric Eaton can assist us in the identification of your Robber Fly.
