Can someone help me with an ID for this robberfly? Female, Reserve Naturel de la Ch?rine, Indre, central France, 27 July 2007. This was taken on the edge of an area of oak and birch forest which is reverting to heath scrub, the soil is sandy, there are many ponds/small lakes/reed beds/ditches and the occasional hedgerow. The nearby fields are grazed by cattle and horses. The prey is
