Some sort of fly?

attachicon.gifP1040411.jpg

Robber or Assassin Fly. There are thousands of different types and they live on pretty well any insect they can catch: dragonflies, spiders moths and other types of fly. Very aggressive and efficient killers. like many insects it is just as well they are not the size of a horse, otherwise I think we would be in trouble. Well spotted.

I was amazed at how big it was :0

The local farmers collect the cocoons and get paid by the butterfly park where the raise them.. pretty awesome really. smile.png)

They sure are big mean looking dinosaurs to be roaming around the the public parks, though no more harmful than a so dog I would guess
