Description:

A Robber Fly of some sort

Notes:

This was sitting on our back patio all evening during our cookout with friends and family. The next morning it was still there so I took it's picture to look up online what it was. Found out it is some sort of Robber Fly and they can attack wasps,bees, and even humming birds.
