When I first saw one of these guys I though “you look like a nasty bugger”. And in terms of the insect world, it is. The Robber Fly is very fast and very strong and grabs other insects out of the air. It injects its pray with a poison to paralyse it, before injecting an enzyme, which starts to decompose the pray to enable the fly to suck its insides out, leaving only the ectoskeleton after it has finished feeding. Nice.
