Description Order: Diptera
Family: Asilidae

Scale bar: 5mm

I don't know the exact species, and don't intend to find out
There's thousands of species of robber flies.

I caught one for this drawing, and used a microscope to try and get it as accurate as possible. I didn't do the hairs along its abdomen properly though; they should be actually connected to it.
A4.

They were a nightmare to try and get right, definitely the hardest part

Amazing, amazing work. I cannot believe you stippled the whole thing! You must have super patience

Thanks! I don't find stippling takes me too long, I rather like doing it once I get going, lol.
