Introducing the most feared villain of The Milkweed Chronicles. The robber fly.

When I saw this I couldn't believe my eyes, mutiny of the bee world! But then I noticed something about this bumble bee wasn't right. The eyes were not right; they were bulbous. And I had never heard of bumblebees eating other insects, plus this creature was at least half an inch longer than a bumble.
Here the Robber fly is consuming a honey bee.

Feel free to comment, fav and crits. :)
