Coleomyia rubida
Coleomyia rubida is a species of robber fly (family Asilidae) described by Martin in 1953. The genus Coleomyia belongs to the diverse asilid lineage of predatory flies, commonly known as robber flies for their aggressive hunting behavior. As with other members of this family, C. rubida likely exhibits the characteristic aerial predation and strong flying ability typical of the group. The specific epithet 'rubida' suggests reddish coloration, though this has not been independently verified.
