Description
Robber flies, sometimes called Assassin flies, are predatory and chase other insects in mid-air.
The short, strong proboscis is used to stab and inject victims with saliva containing neurotoxins and proteolytic enzymes which paralyse and digest the insides; the fly then sucks the liquefied meal through the proboscis. It is in the Diptera family Asilidae.
