OK, now I know its not up to the usual standard of the Macro forum, but its the best 'bug' shot I've managed!

It's a robber fly and it eats other flies ;) Nice shot.

Thank you so much for your replies, and thanks for naming it Alby. It looked like a fly, but was so much bigger, i didn't think it could have been.

Thanks again for the positive comments:)
