New member - Robber Fly pic

[LHP]

Hi- long time lurker, first time poster... had to share a picture I took recently of a robber fly bee mimic (Laphria spp.?) eating a bee (check out the proboscis!) Hope this works...

Great pic.
What type of camera you are using? This picture is really sharp... and has nice colours.

Thanks!
The camera is a Nikon Coolpix 4300- I REALLY love this camera, it is always with me. I work at a nature center (with Wade, I'm his sister) and the picture was taken in the garden there. It is a garden designed to attract insects so I end up with lots of photo opportunities (as for the plant, I forget what its called, but I assure you it is legal )
