Robber Fly
Found at Finca Las Piedras, near town of Monterrey in Madre de Dios region in southeastern Peru.
Female Laphriinae of sorts. Maybe Pilica sp.?
She was hanging around on a tree that had fallen across the trail. Initially she was very wary and hard to approach. After several slow and stealthy approaches, she allowed me to get close.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
