A Bee's Misfortune

I saw this little drama yesterday in my garden.

Is this a Soldier Fly, Brian?

Excellent find Jim
Look at the victims eyes.... they followed you when you took both shots.

The food chain can be so unkind.

Great post Jim thanks for sharing........ Skippy

Wonderful captures and I did notice the bee's eyes in both shots!

I'm really impressed at the lovely lighting on these

Good captures- by all concerned.
Not a soldierfly but a robberfly. These flies will attack and take out dragonflies. Funny thing is I've never seen one in the flesh
