Field Notes

Description:

What I thought at first was a large wasp buzzing around, perhaps is really some kind of fly mimic.

Notes:

Seen in primary forest in the Renah Kayu Embun area of the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia.

Thanks, Midori! I think you're right! I see there are 7000 species of (known) robber fly, haha. Now to just narrow it down...!

It's kind of hard to see but it could be a robber fly.
