Thanks for posting this one Carol. I have a photo of one..interesting creature..just have not researched it as of yet.

Carol Senske replied:

Hi, Joy:>) There are quite a few types and they come in all sizes, but no matter the size they are expert (and strong) predators. I've never heard of a person being "bitten"; it probably could happen if yo held it in your hand for a period of time, but they are not to be feared. Instead, we should thank them for all the bugs they eat. Have a beautiful Christmas/holiday!

He looks pretty wicked.

Carol Senske replied:

Good morning:>) They are certainly efficient in what they do. Handsome, though!

The beach towel is really just for laying on inasmuch as it is too big and heavy to put around your body, which is just fine. The artwork in it is beautiful. I can't wait to use it.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

very nice, love the colour not keen on the white tastle border but i like it, i'm going to use it as blanket for my hamock,

Artist's Description

This is one of the larger "robber flies", sometimes called Beast of the East. They are voracious eaters and will hunt and capture prey as large as butterflies. They have a piercing mouthpart that they use to inject a paralyzing and dissolving mix of enzymes into their meal, then the proboscis is used like a straw to drink the resulting fluid. These are fierce predators, but they pose no risk to people.

They are most numerous in August and September in our area (Montgomery County, PA). This picture was taken August 8, 2008.

About Carol Senske

Carol Senske

I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....
