I'm sorry, OT abit..

May i ask what is meant by 100% crop and is robber fly the real name of the fly? If not, why the title robber fly?

100% crop means 1 to 1 pixel. For example, just hit 100% view in an image viewer and you would be able to see what I meant.

The origin of this fly can be found somewhere in this forum. Perhaps u would like to do a search? Or you would like to consult our many macro experts in this forum like sgt pepper, minus me of course!
