Robber fly (Proctacanthus)

Deep River

A very large and powerful robber fly often seen in late summer in sandy areas. This one has captured a beetle, perhaps one of the small tiger beetles though it is hard to tell.

Looks like a nasty fly to me, and I feel sorry for the beetle. Great capture, though. V.
