Robber flies are common, swiftly flying predators, 5-30 mm long. They have stout, spiny legs, a dense "beard" of bristles on the face, and a depression in the forehead between the compound eyes.
They can be found in arid and sunny habitats. They also seem to prefer areas with lots of flowers, because that is where their favorite prey, small bees and wasps can be found.
