Hi jensbeig & welcome to the community! I've moved this to arthropods for you.
Gordon Dietzman
It seems to look a lot like a robberfly, as kozoga suggests, but we probably won't be able to narrow the ID much more than that from this photo. Still, I think that robberflies are one of the more interesting insect groups. Welcome to Project Noah!

Hello jensbeig! Could you please move this from the "Other" category to "Arthropods," as this is an insect? Arthropods include insects, arachnids (spiders), and crustaceans. Thanks!

Hi, is a robber fly (Asilidae), but do not know the species.
