Flies

EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly, Fly Away! Robber Flies Take Over the Wild West!". In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a true bandit of the insect world - CAN-3514, a notorious robber fly from the Asilidae family. This audacious creature is caught mid-flight in its natural habitat of Arizona's arid landscapes. With its sleek body and piercing eyes, it seems ready to conquer any prey that dares to cross its path. Known for their predatory nature, these flies are like tiny avengers of the insect realm. They dominate semi-arid regions across the globe with their lightning-fast reflexes and unparalleled hunting skills. It's no wonder they've become widely distributed! As our little winged outlaw faces us head-on in this photograph, one can't help but admire its tenacity and determination. Its presence reminds us that even in harsh environments like Arizona's deserts, life finds a way to thrive. So let your imagination take flight as you gaze upon this incredible image captured by Cancalosi. Feel yourself transported into an entomological Western movie where these fearless robbers rule over North America's wild frontier. But beware! Don't let their charming appearance fool you; behind those compound eyes lies an expert predator ready to pounce on unsuspecting victims at any moment! So keep your wits about you as you explore the fascinating world of insects through Cancalosi's lens – just don't mention commercial use or confuse them with another
