(Family Asilidae) The Robber Fly is a member of the Asilidae family with over 7000 species.  Robber flies are also called assassin flies.  They capture their prey in flight, use their stout proboscis to puncture the prey and inject a neurotoxin.  This paralyzes the insect enabling the robber fly to insert its proboscis and suck out the hemolymph or insect fluids. They eat a wide variety of insects including grasshoppers, dragonflies, butterflies (in photo being eaten), moths and flies.
