Robber Fly

Male Asilinae of sorts, I believe. Found at Glass House Mountains National Park (off Mount Beerburrum access road). Queensland, Australia.

 

Bright red globs are mites. I wonder if the posterior one presented any trouble in mating attempts.

 

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