I'll kill you Sitting on top a branch looking for the next kill. I am always impressed by the ability of robber flies to catch insects in flight. For me this means their insect senses are less crude then I expected. Although I am sure nature has found some very simple logic which yields good results like &#039;fly towards the buzzing sound&#039;.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Kleine Bladrover (Dioctria hyalipennis)<br /> no wiki Dioctria hyalipennis,Geotagged,Kleine Bladrover,The Netherlands Click/tap to enlarge
