Hi, can I get an identification for this robber fly please? Thank you!


It was sampled in Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. Measuring around ~ 1 cm.

Thank you!

Hello,

there is a special subforum for Asilidae, where the specialists for that family are very active. But I (layish) don't think this is Asilidae. More likely Empidoidea.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Subfamily Asilinae or Ommatiinae. A closer view of the antennae will help separate these options.
