βRobber Flyβ
Is that close enough? π
Though it doesn't look like a standard fly, the Robber Fly is actually a fly.
The sheer size of the insect can alarm people unfamiliar with it, but the loud buzzing it creates by furiously beating its wings can be more disturbing.
Flying insects like wasps, bees, beetles, and even other flies are allβ¦

ππ»ββοΈ TIL: π©οΈπͺ° Male #dragonflies engage in aerial dogfights to defend territory, using simple visual rules like fighter pilots.
Researchers in the #UK used stereoscopic cameras to reconstruct 3D flight paths of the scarlet Trithemis aurora dragonfly. The #insects pull up to 6 Gs and compete for tail chase positioning rather than intercepting like they do with prey.
