Red-footed Cannibalfly - Promachus rufipes - Female
Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, North Carolina, USA
September 2, 2005
ID from comparing images in guide. Found this female dangling from a cobweb weaver's web. It seemed fine for about 2 hours (never flew, though) and then died. I found another robberfly, small species, in the same web the next day.
