Chow time!

Ashy Clubtail with Robber Fly. Emmon’s Preserve, Kennebunkport Maine

I went looking for Ebony Jewelwings at Emmon’s Preserve the other day, and found this specimen (not an Ebony Jewelwing) chowing down what appears to be a large Robber Fly. I believe it is an Ashy Clubtail, but I can not completely rule out Dusky from the images I got. Still we will say Ashy until someone more knowledgeable corrects me. 🙂 I am not up on my Robber Flies but I know there are several species in Maine.
