Very good! The robber fly looks to be sitting on a camera lens.

Close! He landed on the connector ring of a tripod leg. Had been shooting robber flies landing in amongst plants only to have this one land on the leg. Had to remove the camera stuff to take the photo. Attached is the setup I was using for these photos back in 2005, so removing and handholding this load to take a pic wasn't easy!

... and he was on the internal side of the leg to boot. Thankful for A Nikkor 200mm Micro with a long working distance!
