Asilid - Andrenosoma - Male Female
Resaca De La Palma State Park, Cameron County, Texas, USA
August 7, 2017
I originally found the female alone on a fallen tree limb. She was moving up and down the length of the limb seemingly ovipositing. I followed her along taking pictures. Eventually a male flew down from above and they hooked up and mated. Separate male and female pics will be added.

A. igneum?
