Ommatius coeraebus
Family: Asilidae 20mm This robber fly has the antenna in plumose form, i.e., like a feather. Its legs are black femur with yellow tibia and black tarsus. Wings are dark brown in colour - http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
I found it sitting on Hairpin Banksia plant (Banksia spinulosa) with a damaged left wing. Love the beard :)
