Asilidae, teneral female (?). This one puzzles me -- can't even determine subfamily from photos! |

Unfortunately, this was the only one I saw. I returned to same area several times and scoured but no luck finding others. Next time! |

Looks like a male Aspidopyga cophuroides to me. Compare with https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/8895833.

Chris, Jeff -- Chris is absolutely correct on his 25-03 ID of these 3 photos as a male Aspidopyga cophuroides. Although the characteristic "double meso-tibial spur" of this monotypic genus is not shown in your photos, the likewise diagnostic epandrium is (nice lateral views photos 1 & 3). Cheers, Eric |
