This little guy(or gal) sat there patiently while I fumbled through entering my password for unlocking my phone twice from a first accuracy failure, removing the scratched cover, attempting general photo with zero focusing success, changing to pro mode which required altering every function for that final moment when I could finally click the go button... The whole time just sitting there like a boss, allowed me to get a few happy snaps, then in a blink of an eye, he(or she) was gone... Not sure of the exact species of robber fly, but definitely one of the more spectacular assasins out there thats for sure
