| Robber Fly (Family Asilidae) Waits in Ambush on Sandy Habitat in Colorado. The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called assassin flies. They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypo pharynx. The name robber flies reflects their notoriously aggressive predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and as a rule they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight. |
