Robber fly, scientific name: Asilidae (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae)

This is a member of the order Neuroptera (lacewings and relatives), definitely not a robber fly. The latter have short antennae and very different wing venation.

I love your pictures and would like to know what flash you use. Is it a ring flash?Thanks
