An Asilidae aka "Robber Fly" enjoys a meal of a fly in the Panamint Valley, California. April 2021 Note the proboscis stabbed into the back of the fly. It injects a neurotoxin and digestive enzymes and slups up its meal. #panamint #robberfly #nature #brutal #fly #bugs #desert #macro #cvvhrn #r2508

Looks like VX-9 "Vampires" has changed the tail. The F/A-18F near Point D in the Sidewinder was April 2021. The E/A-18G Growler was at Pt. Mugu. Cool either way #VX9 #Vampires #planespotting #R2508 #sidewinder #Mugu #ptmugu #greyflag #photography #usnavy #usnavalaviation #Nikon #aircraft #cvvhrn
