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.

A type of robberfly. They are not as obvious as dragonflies but still relatively common. I've seen them in NSW several times. Granted, the more urban the surroundings the less I see them so perhaps that's something to take into account.
