Image of Plateau Spreadwing
Description:
Spotted a large spreadwing flying with victim and it landed right near my feet. It had a struggling cranefly in its grasp. Not certain which species of spreadwing. I posted a short video of the spreadwing with struggling cranefly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-jfLQeY2n4 After shooting the video I tried to maneuver for a better shot from a different angle, but then it quickly flew away.
