How Does a Small Robber Fly See and Catch Its Prey?/ Curr. Biol., Mar. 9, 2017 (Vol. 27, Issue 6)

How Does a Small Robber Fly See and Catch Its Prey?/ Curr. Biol., Mar. 9, 2017 (Vol. 27, Issue 6). The miniature robber fly Holcocephala fusca hunts smaller insects. Sam Fabian (Fly Systems Laboratory, Cambridge University) talks through the adaptations that allow this small insect to maintain high spatial resolution despite its small size and how it plots a course that increases the likelihood of successfully intercepting its target, and thus of making a catch.
