Thanks Menno and Danny for your determinations.

The ants were pestering the Asilus. I only noticed it because the Asilus kept making short flights to land in new positions to get away from the ants, and I had to relocate it in the telescope each time.

Cheers,

Mark Telfer

Hello Mark,

I agree with Menno that this is Asilus barbarus. Is this an ant beneath the fly's hind left femur?
