Hairy The Red-footed Cannibal Fly

Description
Photographic artwork by Cindy Treger. Photographed near Lake Meade, East Berlin, PA. I have spotted this red-footed cannibal fly, Promachus rufipes, several times in the last few days. Here it landed near me as I was sitting on the patio. They are highly predatory and sometimes called the "Robber Fly." Once they catch their victim, they inject paralyzing chemicals into them that liquefies their innards and the fly then sucks out the contents. They are a really disgusting looking creature with lots of long hair on their face.

He's a cutie with that beard. Excellent capture. I don't think I'd want him to bite me though. :o)
