Congregations of low-hovering stiletto flies are now a regular sight on warm days. When not flying, they rest on plants and 'signal' with a front leg (photo #2).

Found this beautiful bee fly on a brief stop at Scawfell Island, as part of an expedition out to the Coral Sea.
An old sighting, but thought it worthwhile to submit to iNat, as it appears to be a rare species.

Stiletto fly
Identified as Ectinorhynchus on Bowerbird by Christine Lambkin: "Possibly latistria. A female. Without the specimen (and even then) difficult to get to species. Group currently being revised. Cheers Chris"
