The powerful predatory Robber Flies of the family Asilidae are strange miniature Alien like creatures and no more so that this mating pair of the Kite-tailed Robberfly, Machimus atricapillus, which I photographed on Wiltshire chalk downs a couple of years ago.
Later, while attending the AES trade fair and Exhibition near London, I came across this incredible stacked image of M. atricapillus on the display of the Diptera Forum.
