ID anyone?

This little guy was having dinner this evening as I was cooking mine. I'm not sure what he is, it looks like he is eating a yellow jacket but I'm not 100% on that either.

It was very dark and I used the flash, I feel fortunate to have just got a shot off at all.

For anyone that is interested I have started a blog. I don't expect many follows but it could be something fun for me.

Looks like a Robber Fly. Looks good! Your doing what I'm doing. I'm trying to get bugs eating other bugs or other interactions if you know what I mean. Keep it up!

You mean you are cooking steaks on the grill and getting lucky? I was not out trying to take pictures I'm just glad he allowed to run back inside and grab the camera. This is probably a 40-50% crop taken with the kit 18-55 lens. I have been sticking a little money back for a sigma 70-300 APO. It is a pretty good 1:2 macro lens as long as you don't mind standing about 3 feet away.

Robber fly looks right to me. It was really cool watching him do his injecting.

Tons of dragonflies in my backyard (ok just three or four) and even more out at Lake Conway . I'm getting bored chasing them around. That's pretty good for the lens you were using. Keep it up!

actually Brian probably not. The steaks were cooked perfectly to medium rare but tasted very old and were tough. I got them from my grandmother who later admitted that they had been in the freezer a while. Funny thing though, I actually ate a sweat bee over the 4th weekend. It landed on a piece of chicken I was eating and actually stung me on the tongue. But I had the last laugh.

Mathew, according to my friend, this robber fly is a female Promachus bastardii. More information is available at: http://www.hr-rna.com/RNA/Main%20pages/Pro%20Pro%20frame%20page.htm

thanks Charles, you have given me something to shoot for with you last post.
