241/365

08.29.2021: Okay, so I stumbled upon this "kill" today while hiking #kennesawmountainnbp. Something buzzed by my head and I saw it pounce on a very unlucky yellow jacket on the side of a tree. The "creature" then carried the yellow jacket to a small branch of a nearby tree where it appeared to enjoy lunch. Two questions. Does anyone know what type of "creature" this is? And, does this foreshadow bad luck for the Georgia Tech football team?

UPDATE: Thanks to Jason Lesley and John Cown, the creature has been identified as a Robber Fly or Promachus.
