Robber Fly (Chrysopogon sp.) with prey

Chrysopogon sp., I believe. Found at Hotham River Nature Reserve, S of Pingelly. Western Australia, Australia.

 

Prey is a honeybee, which seemed to be a common prey item for these large colorful robbers.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
