The two images of a Diogmites immediately below were photographed in Gonzales Co., Texas in August, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300 mm F/4L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. The Diogmites is preying on a Blue-faced Ringtail (Erpetogomphus eutainia).

This Diogmites species robber fly was photographed in Austin, Travis Co., Texas in September, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300 mm F/4L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. The Diogmites is preying on another insect it as captured. The habit of using the front two legs to hang from a perch while feeding on prey is something I commonly observe in these flies.

The Diogmites robber fly in the shot below and on the left, was photographed at Bentsen State Park, Hidalgo Co., Texas in October, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300 mm F/4L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. This may be the same species as some of the other Diogmites shown in my gallery of this genus, but this is uncertain.

The next three shots were all taken in Gonzales, Gonzales Co., Texas, in August, 2007, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash.
