They have a distinctive humpbacked appearance, spiny legs, and a bearded face with a sharp, pointy proboscis.<\/li>\n<li>Robber Flies are found worldwide, with over 7,000 described species. In North America, there are nearly 1,000 species, with about 100 recorded in the Upper Midwest.<\/li>\n<li>Robber Flies inhabit open, sunny areas including grasslands, old fields, woodland openings, marshes, and areas near ponds and streams.<\/li>\n<li>Robber Flies are predatory, feeding on a wide variety of insects including flies, beetles, butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, grasshoppers, and even other robber flies.<\/li>\n<li>Robber Flies lay small, cream-colored eggs on plants, soil, or wood. The number of eggs varies by species. Larvae develop in soil or decaying wood, taking 1-3 years to reach adulthood.<\/li>\n<li>Robber Flies are also known as &#8220;Assassin Flies&#8221; due to their predatory nature.<\/li>\n<li>A group of flies can be called a &#8220;business&#8221;, &#8220;cloud&#8221;, or &#8220;swarm&#8221; of flies.<\/li>\n<li>The lifespan of adult Robber Flies is typically about 3 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I
