This large fly started to vibrate its wings (pic 3) and then was gone. The proboscis is massive.
Perched on green foliage.

Nice spotting Martin. Good shots.
I believe it was. :-)
Thanks for reminding me. That might have been Argy Bee. It may be the same fly since we're nearby ;)
I've seen a fly with a proboscis like yours not so long ago, and an ID was made. Trying to think who it was!
