Extraordinary pictures, especially perhaps the last. I have never seen anything like this happening. Over what period did you take these?

Cool shots - in the second is the prey a smaller Robber fly?

Last shot is fantastic, I guess they are particularly vulnerable to attack when joined together like that but I've never seen anything like this...

Great pics. Robber fly or tiger beetle have to be the ultimate 6 legged predators. Not sure which one truly deserves the crown.
