Robber Fly with prey
Found on private property on Mudlo Road just to the north of Mudlo National Park. Queensland, Australia. Note: I had met the property owner on the road and he was kind enough to allow me to roam around on his property as long as I promised not to get lost.
I was standing next to a shrub when I witnessed this beauty pluck a small spider from the center of its web. It landed on a branch tip and it allowed me several shots.
I'm thinking it's a leptogastrine.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
