Giant robber fly, about 1.5 inch long. Biggest I have ever seen.

Hi Kurt,
Great set of images!
I've always heard that "rules" are made to be broken and the first image is a classic example. (i.e., " you never put the subject dead center")
Well...this is an instance where centering the image makes it a powerful image, in my opinion.
Great job!

Thanks, Mark, Eric.
Eric - thanks for the ID and info. Yes..that explained why it was so cooperative and hardly moved at all! Probably just molted. Only flew away (short distance) a couple of times.
