This robber fly is known as Ceraturgus mitchelli. It is a rare species across most of its range, which includes parts of Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, as well as a few states farther north. The top three shots on this page were taken in Bastrop State Park, Bastrop Co., Texas, in April, 2011, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens and Canon 580 flash. I'd like to thank Herschel Raney and Michael Thomas for making an ID of this species from my photos.
