Overview
Learn about the Soldierflies (Asilidae) of the UK with tutor Martin Harvey.
Robberflies (family Asilidae) are a group of true flies with 28 species known to occur within the UK. The group gets its name from their ambush-predator lifestyle, capturing their insect prey in flight, using swift, darting attacks and then injecting digestive enzymes through a sharp proboscis to immobilise and consume their prey. They are typically slender or robust, often bristly, with strong legs and a characteristic facial “moustache” (the mystax) that protects them from struggling prey.
