Daniel,
Thank you so much for your time and for the compliment.  High praise, indeed.  Coincidentally, another of the very  bug that led me to your website back in 2008 appeared today as I was harvesting tomatoes.  It’s my Mallophora fautrix and it had a nice juicy wasp for lunch.

Hi again Anna,
These truly are spectacular Robber Flies, and they deserve the common name of Bee Killers.
