Can anyone ID this one for me. It appears to be a miniature robberfly. The brown stick it is resting on is actually the leg of a stick insect and is about the thickness of fishing line. The thorax is very highly reflective, you can actually see my shape reflected in it, the bright spot is the flash.
Is anyone familiar with these?
