This small robber fly is Stichopogon trifasciatus and was photographed in Austin, Travis 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 is a very widespread species across much of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. One of the shots here shows the robber with a fly it has captured.
