I don't know what this guy is called, but he is definately a predator.

Wow. Great shot, Ron.

I believe that's a Robber fly. They catch their prey in mid-air and commonly nab specimens larger/heavier than themselves.

I'm kinda' glad I don't fly around, myself. Hate to run into one of these guys. :-)

Best wishes.
