Asilidae
The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called assassin flies. They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypopharynx. The name "robber flies" reflects their notoriously aggressive predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and, as a rule, they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight. Overview The Asilidae are a family in the order Diptera, the true flies. The common name for members of the family is the robber flies. The Asilidae are cosmopolitan, with over 7000 described species. Latreille was the authority for establishing the family in 1802. The Asilidae, together with Bombyliidae and Therevidae, are the most representative families of the superfamily of Asiloidea and they form one of the most characteristic groups of the lower Brachycera. Robber flies have stout, spiny legs and three simple eyes (ocelli) in a characteristic depression on the tops of their head between their two ...

Laphria (fly)
''Laphria'' is a genus described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1803, belonging to the family Asilidae, subfamily Laphriinae. Members of this genus are known as bee-like robber flies. This genus has a Holarctic distribution, occurring in Europe, Asia, and North America. They prey on a variety of insects, including other robber flies, bees, wasps and beetles. Like other asilids, they use their proboscis to penetrate the body of their prey and inject enzymes which dissolve the tissues. These large flies measure in length. Most ''Laphria'' species are quite hairy and black in color. Some have bee-mimicking markings with black and yellow stripes (like ''Laphria thoracica''). They can be encountered from July through September. Species Select species include: *'' Laphria affinis'' Macquart, 1855 *'' Laphria aktis'' Mcatee, 1919 *'' Laphria altitudinum'' Bromley, 1924 *'' Laphria apila'' (Bromley, 1951) *'' Laphria canis'' Williston, 1883 *'' Laphria ephippium'' (Fabricius, 178 ...
