They practice "extraoral digestion," which means they shoot enzymes into their prey to pre-digest it by liquifying the tissues. This is a horse fly. These sumbiches hurt!

The Robber Flys I have always considered to be a good critter because they kill houseflies and such. I let them be and they let me be. I like to watch them hunt. [/QUOTE]
