Blepharotes coriarius
At first I thought this was a dragonfly, though once it landed it made me think of a Robber Fly though it was much bigger than any I'd seen before. It measured about 3cm in length, its abdomen was bright red-orange & it had a fluffy face. Definately the first time I've seen this insect.
Coastal.
A bearded Robber Fly!!?? Very interesting!! It is gorgeous whatever it is, hope you get an ID.
