Robberfly with Prey (2812431266)

Description:
Description: I was watching this pearl crescent butterfly as it flew from flower to flower when all of a sudden it was taken out of the air. It happened so fast I could only see a dark object streak and then a cracking sound as it hit the butterfly. Seconds later the butterfly was motionless and this robberfly was feeding.
