Sorry Paul, but "robber fly" isn't specific enough to identify this to the species level. Posted 2 years ago

    Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine to not know a species, but in that case please don't use "request manual species creation" as this emails all moderators assuming you know the full species name, which would then mean one of us creates the database record. Posted 2 years ago

      It is a tough one to get a scientific name on, nobody knows, how about your oversees friends ?

        To be honest, I'd keep expectation low for this one. Robberflies are hard in every location and it seems in Suriname there's a limited amount of observations, making it even harder to identify.
        
        Not to worry though, just the photo itself is very valuable! Posted 2 years ago
