. Dwellers of the sea and shore . ROBBER FLY ATTACKING ITS PREY. (Erax riifibarbus). Whatever advantages the first- named fly may have derived from its beelike disguise, the imposture surely does not stand it in good stead now; for the bloodthirsty assailant will as readily at- tack a genuine sting bearer as one v/hich obviously is not. Other winged assassins pass. To flies, wasps, and beetles, there would seem no end.
