Robber Fly ( Mallophora fautrix )

This is the only species of this genius in California. These are bee mimics and they prey upon bee, bumble bees and wasps. They can be usually recognized by their bright green eyes (However, this one appears brownish). (Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America)
