 Three day ago I spotted this pair on a leaf of the horse-radish. As I can guess, the eating is a female of Hybotidae, but the prey is out of my reach. Some help?

 The meal is a female Drosophila, the diner is a female Platypalpus.

 Paul, thanks for ID! Funny thing with this situation is that the hybotid is standing only on two legs (I have pics from other angles) supporting the front by the prey body

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

pjt - just send the post and attached image. Do not preview thread, as this will lose the link to the image,

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
