Uncensored: Mating And Hunting At The Same Time

When I saw this show, I didn't know what to say. It's a romantic show or something terrible.

That afternoon I saw a pair of robber flies (family Asilidae) mating. The male is in a lower position, his abdomen is slimmer, while the female is above him with a fat abdomen.

It was unique copulation, but quite gruesome where the female did it while killing a grasshopper. Seeing the show, I concluded, that the female is more ferocious than the male. Despite the fact that both males and females are equally ferocious because robber flies are known as predators.

Well, poor grasshopper! It must be "a silent witness" as well as a prey for the mating robber flies.
