Robber Fly (Dakinomyia secuta)
Dakinomyia secuta Daniels, 1979. Thanks to Greg Daniels for providing the species determination via private email. Found off Glenmoral Roundstone Road, WSW of Theodore. Queensland, Australia.
Found in woods upslope from the road. Found here: 24.97837S 210.06488W.
Very large and impressive robber. Several were hanging around in this spot. They were pretty wary and it took a bit of chasing to get good shots.
