TWO FLIES ONLY
This Friday it's a short content day for me. Had to do some stuff in the morning. Now is afternoon and I have things to do in the city. A couple of places and a couple of people to visit. So I'll post only a couple of old photographs.
It's great to have a storage filled with insects on a day like this. Here you can see a robber fly (Asilidae family). Quite a few very similar, almost identical-looking species that share the same habitats are present in the area, so I can't tell you which one exactly is this.
But it's a robber fly, that's for sure. These flies attack their prey by stabbing it with the strong, short proboscis, injecting the victim with saliva containing enzymes which very rapidly paralyze the victim and soon digest the insides. The robber fly then sucks the liquefied material through the proboscis.

The second protagonist of this short post it's the Myopa dorsalis, a fly from the Conopidae family. The adults of this species feed on the nectar. I encounter them on a wide variety of flowers that grow on sunny open terrains near the sea.

Here you can see the same kind of fly on the fluffy seeds of some dandelion-like plant that I wasn't able to identify.
AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS IN THESE POSTS ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
Wow the beauty and quality of the picture clarity is amazing
it's the most vicious predatory fly, most feared by insects of its size, it's the kind of predator that has no mercy on its prey. whatever comes to his mind, he is recorded, without mercy...
very beautiful photography insect I really like it have a nice day

They are beautiful, very well captured! 👍
Very beautiful Photography. I love the clarity
Your photos are definitely macro, you can see all the details, you feel a bit of a chill, well me :)
I wish you a happy weekend
predatory insects have dangerous killer method, it's remind me about carnivore plants.
Wow such an interesting fly the myopa dorsalis, never seen one.
Great macro photography. And yes an archive full of great photos always helps.
Have a great weekend ☀️ @borjan

It's the first time I've been able to see in detail the face of a fly. for the red fly has a white face, it looks a little funny and different from the first fly who is so fierce
It's extraordinary, we often get these insects in the forests of Aceh.
