Anyone working on an illustrated guide (book) to robber flies of the eastern US

I’m aware of Roger’s work on the asilids of the SW (though I haven’t seen it), but I’m looking for something that might cover regions further east. They are so charismatic. I know someone could make a bundle off of royalties from such an endeavor :>

If you up one level in the web hierarchy on that page (just click on the journal header in the top left) there are about 2 dozen good various insect guides there. Obviously, being Canadian in focus, the further south you get, the less complete it will be, but they can certainly be useful for folks relatively close to the border.
