 This robber fly is hanging upside down a leaf, with body length close to 1 cm. The colour is somewhere between brown and orange but closer to orange.

Location is lowland rainforest, Perak, Malaysia.

 Nope (sorry Jorge...) -- not that subfamily. This is a Damalis sp., of the subfamily Trigonomiminae. Damalis is a very large genus found throughout the Old World tropics; species of this group perch on twig tips of plants (just like Ommatius do).

Cheers,

Eric
