User's notes
I saw a Robber fly with a captive bee on three occasions in this location. Photos 1 and 2 were taken on 27 December 2022. I didn't have my camera the second time and the last photo was taken on 2 January 2023. Whether this is the same fly or different ones I couldn't say. seems to be good hunting ground with numberous bees on the planted Melaleuca.
