Robberflies are not difficult to find. Robberflies with preys are not uncommon too. However, robberflies mating are rather rare. I have only seen once before.  Hence, I was delighted to find this pair having a good time! I welcome your C & C for improvement.

A good find well catured, I once saw two mating and one of them had prey as well, but they were gone by the time I got back with my camera.

Fine capture of the happy pair.
Perhaps an angle a step to the right and bit higher, to get more parallel with the fly on the right - but this is very good as is.

Hi

A nice shot and the natural history aspects increase the images appeal imo

All the best
