I am a teachers assistant in a preschool and my kids found this scary looking bug on our table. It must have flown in the classroom when we were outside. If anyone could please tell me what this thing is, that would be great. They are all really curious to see what it is and I just want it out of the classroom. I hope you can see it ok through this bug container. Thank you

tifny, are you able to take another picture? There's a glare on it, if you could set it on a paper towel or something that doesn't reflect, it would help.
Thanks
And please post the full photo, not the thumbnail. Way too small, and way too obscured by the glare.
It's a robber fly
harmless to humans
What magical trick did you use to see it?
no magic trick
notice the stance of the legs and that eye
may not be, but too close to robber fly
You have much better eyes than I have! What eye? LOL!!!!
