Does anyone have any thoughts on the identity of this pair of beardy beauties? Photographed in late November 2012 in Bowning Cemetery (near Canberra), each fly c25mm long. I think they are Asilinae, but have no clue further than that.

Susan, These 'beardy beauties' are Dolopus rubrithorax; male with massive genitalia. Great photo! Regards, Eric |
