Latin Name	Observation Date	Location
Genus Philodicus	Jun 11, 2026	Vodrochol, Ullapara, Bangladesh

After the rain stopped yesterday afternoon, the surroundings seemed to come back to life, just when I went out to spend time in nature and do some photography. After coming out, I saw this amazing Grasshopper Robber Fly among the small water droplets accumulated on the wet leaves. In the cool environment after the rain, it was sitting silently on a leaf, its silent stillness gave me the opportunity to do some macro photography of it. However, the interesting thing is that one day before, I had seen this Grasshopper Robber Fly, and I tried to take a picture but could not because of its fast speed. However, yesterday, its silence helped me to take a picture.

However, the Robber Fly is one of the most skilled hunters of nature among other insects. It can catch other small insects even in flight. Its large eyes, strong legs and delicate wing design are clearly visible for micro photography. The most interesting thing was the water droplet stuck near its head, this scene gave a wonderful moment after the rain.

Now I am sharing some wonderful moments of this Robber Fly below, I hope everyone likes it and everyone enjoys it.
