Robber fly sucking my blood

Any critique and comments are most welcome

1.
10:37:34am I took a random shot of this fella which I initially thought was a wasp.


2.
10:38:13am Before I took my second random shot, I felt a mosquito on my face. I twitched my facial muscles to get it off me. It was at this moment the robber fly flew away and then back to almost the exact spot but with a well fed mosquito.

10:39:49am The almost sucked dried mosquito. Everything in 2 min 13 secs from 1st pix to 4th pix

A really fascinating series and explanation. There's probably nothing quite like photographing your own blood being sucked out of another animal's body. Amazing!

Just goes to prove how useful these creatures can be. Very interesting photos.
