Robber Fly with prey
Found at Redwood Park, just east of Toowoomba. Queensland, Australia.
Thinking the robber is Colepia rufiventris (Macquart, 1838), based on a similar individual I posted earlier identified as that species. Prey seems to be a bee or wasp or ant.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
