Full title: The stuff of nightmares! Insect that looks like a wasp but crawls like a praying mantis is captured devouring a fly (after ripping off its prey's legs)
If you have a fear of creepy crawlies, you may want to approach with caution. A YouTube user has captured a mantidfly, which looks like a wasp but has the front legs, sharp jaws and bulging eyes of a praying mantis, tucking into a small fly.
The video shows the active hunter feasting on the fly's body, which it holds in its front legs and nibbles on like a human stripping a cob of corn or a pork rib.

Harmless?
That’s what it wants you to think.
Then, when his buddies arrive from Alpha Centauri, they will ban together and take over this part of the universe.
Harmless. Yeah, right.
Oh, the fly might disgree with the narrator also. But the fly wasn’t up for an interview.

His buddies are 10,000 times bigger than he is, too.

What will he be charged with?
Acting like a typical leading GOPe US Senator who will not schedule a vote to defund PP, because he agrees with Obama...

Here in wv, we are frequently visited by a curious and almost friendly insect that I believe is a hoverfly. It is marked much like a hornet or wasp but just hovers around, generally staring at us as if curious. Never gets annoyingly close nor shows any signs of nesting or any aggression. He just stops by to visit during the day.

They feed mostly on nectar and pollen. So, they are looking for flowers.
