Is this the same insect as in this picture? This is one of the very first pics I took on my first point and shoot back in 2010. Never knew what it was. Just thought it looked cool.
Yes, same family at least. Robberflies (Assilidae), they are basically flies evolved to do what dragonflies do except they develop underground instead of in water.

That is so cool, thanks for the info!
The one in the post has more black on it, like on it’s legs, but I’m no professional so it may be the same, or related in some way.
This is from India, so there may be regional variants
Looks like it
