I photographed this robber fly with prey on June 28 on a salt flat near the beach, island of Naxos, Greece. Any ID help would be appreciated! Stephen attached the following image: ![]() [70.59Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

I think the prey is much more interesting. Could be Nemotelus of the Stratiomyidae. The robberfly: If it had been in my part of Europe I would suggest genus Dysmachus but I have no clue to what might be around on the Greecian isles.
