The Robber Fly is one of my favorite macro subjects. They have so much character. Very interesting to study as well. They actually catch their prey in mid air. This particular robber was only about 3/4 inch long. His meal was exceptionally small. I didn’t know he had until I looked through the lens.

Predatory Australian fly called a “Robber Fly” – looks like it has a mask on. Photo taken in situ in grassland north of Melbourne with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 150mm macro lens balanced on my knees while I waited for the wind to stop! It’s one of my favorite photos because it was bloody hot and it took an hour following this beastie around before I got a suitably sharp one – it was riding this like a cowboy!

Featured in All Animals Great and Small and Alphabet Soup (Letter J). Top 10 Challenge Winner in Alphabet Soup (Letter J) The Grey Jay, AKA Canada Jay, Whiskey Jack, Camp Robber, is a jay that is a marvelous friend to hikers in the mountain meadows and paths of the highlands in western Canada. They have little fear of humans, which is so cool. They will even land on the hands and arms of those offering food. They are vulnerable, though, because they trust us, and because they inhabit sensitive ecological areas. This image was captured in Strathcona Provincial Park, Vancouver Island, Canada. Nikon D2Xs, 80-200 mm lens, ISO 400, F6.0, 1/800.

A close up portrait of a robber crab….....also known as a coconut crab as they crack and eat coconuts! These are my favourite creatures on the planet! I’m fascinated by all the separate plates which join together to make up a whole crab! They are basically evolved hermit crabs in that they do not carry shells to protect their abdomen. They are very imposing, massive creatures with a scientific name of Birgus Latro and they can be blue or red in colour! Their leg span can reach around 70cm! The biggest i’ve seen had a body size 1 foot square and i was even lucky enough to see 20 in one small area feasting on a fallen coconut tree! Despite their size and somewhat menacing appearance, they are gentle and placid creatures who back away when threatened. Found on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean Territories, Australia. Taken on Canon 5D at f5.6, 1/40th sec, ISO 800, 400mm of 100-400mm lens. As is.

I was near Mount Glorious, West of Brisbane, on my way to a lookout over Wivenhoe Dam, when I saw this enormous Robber Fly busily devouring an insect. It was either quite brazen or its proboscis was firmly lodged, because it didn’t move as I approached with my camera and took a close up shot. This is a manually focused shot, no flash. It was taken from about 15cm with a Zeiss Flektogon f/2.4 35mm lens, which is well renowned for its clarity and colour rendition. The lens was on a Canon 450D.

When I cleaned out the used bluebird nest in the nesting box, I noticed strands of mulch from my flower beds. Then, this morning, as I was taking photos of the migratory birds at my feeder, the mulch issue resurfaced, this time in the mouth of a much greedier thief! I caught him red-handed, but he scurried away with the prize. I thought those big empty spaces I was seeing in my flower beds were rather suspicious; now I know how the mulch is being squirreled away!

This photo was taken at Tombstone, Arizona’s Wyatt Earp Days. There were costumed characters everywhere. Their costumes were judged on adherence to authenticity. Skits by acting groups were also judged. Photographed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ 28. “The Town Too Tough to Die,” Tombstone was perhaps the most renowned of Arizona’s old mining camps. When Ed Schieffelin (SHEF·e·lin) came to Camp Huachuca (hwah·CHEW·kuh) with a party of soldiers and left the fort to prospect, his comrades told him that he’d find his tombstone rather than silver. Thus, in 1877 Schieffelin named his first claim the Tombstone, and rumors of rich strikes made a boomtown of the settlement that adopted this name. During World War I, Tombstone was a major producer of manganese for the government. In World War II, Tombstone was extracting lead for the cause. After both conflicts, Tombstone faded into obscurity, just to be resurrected at a later time. The citizenry of Tombstone decided rather than depending on a vanishing mining industry, they would focus their time and energy on tourism and restoration. Good call! Many of Tombstone’s historic buildings are within an area bounded by Fremont, 6th, Toughnut and 3rd streets. Among them are St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, built in 1882; the Crystal Palace Saloon, one of the most luxurious saloons in the West; and the Tombstone Epitaph building, where the oldest continuously published paper in Arizona is still being printed. Western printing history exhibits in the front office are free to the public. Truly a Historical American Landmark, Tombstone is America’s best example of our 1880 western heritage, which is well preserved with original 1880’s buildings and artifacts featured in numerous museums.
