Robber Fly and an Aphid

[Stan]

Spotted this fly on the rail around the nature reserve at BWC. I originally though he just had a bit of grass between his front legs but on getting up close, he was lunching on an aphid. This is shot with my 100 f2.8 L IS at about 4" from thre fly, so almost full frame
