At first, I thought it was a bug caught in a spiderweb. At closer inspection, there were 4 of these robber flies hanging on to a tomato leaf having breakfast.

That is called "eating on the fly".

Love seeing the Robberfly. They are quite amazing and how they snatch a flying insect out of the air is something that I never tire of seeing. Thanks for sharing yours.
