Robber Fly (Asilidae) -1-
A very efficient predator. Vincent Carruthers mentions that they take their prey in flight and also that they have a painful bite if handled. The eye is the real colour. I can't recognise the prey it has here. The leaf is that of a Polka Dot xHypoestes that self seeded prolifically in our garden.
