Description
Ten robber fly species: Asilus crabroniformis, Dioctria rufipes, Dioctria atricapilla, Eutolmus rufibarbis, Tolmerus atricapillus, Tolmerus cingulatus, Neoitamus cyanurus, Pamponerus germanicus, Laphria flava, Leptogaster cylindrica. Colours and shapes in source-identified photographs. A thematic selection, not a ranking or field identification guide; photographic scales differ. Identifications follow source descriptions and species categories. The old source name Machimus atricapillus corresponds to the Tolmerus atricapillus category. The seventh image explicitly credits Jens Buurgaard Nielsen in its description. Scene eight shows a robber fly with prey; the final white-background photograph is not presented as a field view. Real photographs, resized without additional cropping and composed with captions and narration. Photographs retain their original licenses.
