Yesterday at Pe?aflor, Aragon, Spain, into a pine (Pinus halepensis) repoblation forest, between fields (mature wheat fields), this big (maybe 30 mm or some more) robberfly arrives with a recently hunted cicada.

Mediterranean robberflies are difficul, as I see, but maybe can be identified. The ID of the cicada will be also very welcome if it's possible.
