Laphria spp - Laphria ferox

Saw this one on a cool October Day on the ground. There were no image postings of robber flies from Washington State that I could find, so I thought to add it to the database.

I missed Laphria somehow duri
I missed Laphria somehow during my search. Where do I go from here? Will this get moved by someone into the correct category or is that my responsibility?

moving
You can move it or an editor will, but that may take time. I suggest moving it to Laphria. Just tag your pic, go to Laphria, pick images tab, and then 'move tagged image' command should appear.
