Promachus rufipes
Bee-mimicking Robberfly, about an inch long.
Perched on rock on the shoreline of a small trout stream.
Not a big fan of bees, and I know that robber flies can sting so I was very cautious around this guy.
They do not sting, they can bite but this is very rare and not much cause for concern.
