What's this bug? (lemmy.world)

I've lived in Australia for over 5 years now and I've never seen this bug before. Tried all sorts of Google search keywords to no avail.

Found it hanging on my window. I live in Central Victoria.

Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks in advance.

This is lovely, thank you all for the responses! I've done a little bit of reading up on robber flies and decided that it was a good idea I didn't go outside to take photos in case it decided to bite me for getting too close... I'm allergic to bug bites, and this might send me over the edge.

I like small-legged animals except what some of them do to me.

Cheers, everyone, for showing/teaching me a new animal.
