Never having seen one, is this robberfly excited to see me? or is something else going on there? Also an ID on the fly itself if anyone knows this one.

Well, if it is exited to see you, then you still have what it takes to the females. I must say, I have not seen such a long ovipositor in an asilid yet.

Not that this helps you Trev, but I photographed a similar looking Asilid at Ben Boyd NP in March. See http://www.dipter...d_id=20752 How big was yours
