Robber Fly (Thereutria sp.)
Thereutria sp. Thanks to Greg Daniels for providing the generic determination via private email. Found at Auburn River National Park. Queensland, Australia.
Found on a large shrub at side of path leading from parking area down to the river. The shrub had some flowers in bloom and was attracting potential prey.
Hoping it's distinctive enough to get species ID.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
