| This page will have different Diogmites species robber flies which have not been positively identified to species. These are all likely of the Diogmites angustipennis group and may include D. angustipennis, D. texanus or D. bilobatus. The first two images of a Diogmites at right were photographed in Gonzales Co., Texas in August, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300 mm F/4L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. The Diogmites is preying on a female Blue-faced Ringtail (Erpetogomphus eutainia). |

| This Diogmites species robber fly was photographed in Austin, Travis Co., Texas in September, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300 mm F/4L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. The Diogmites is preying on another insect it as captured. The habit of using the front two legs to hang from a perch while feeding on prey is something I commonly observe in these flies. |

| The Diogmites robber fly in the shot at right and shown in the next image, was photographed at Bentsen State Park, Hidalgo Co., Texas in October, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and an EF 300 mm F/4L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. This may be the same species as some of the other Diogmites shown in my collection of this genus, but this is uncertain. |
