Giff Beaton's Robber Flies (Asilidae) of Georgia and the southeast |
| This is very much a work-in-progress, but click on any of the subfamily photos below to see in the field photos of Robber Flies. Most are identified by specimen, but many are not. Mike Thomas has been instrumental in helping me try to learn this challenging group, and has provided most of the identifications. These pages would not exist without his help... Additional help has come from Herschel Raney and Fritz Geller-Grimm. All comments welcome! |
