I've found this tiny Platypezidae in the web of of this attractive green spider (Nigma walkenaeri). I think it could be Protoclythia rufa... What is your opinion? Patrick Patrick Le Mao attached the following image:  [138.1Kb] |

Yes, it's P. rufa, a female. You can see the pattern of light frosting on the abdomen. These spiders seem to like Flat-footed flies, I found one yesterday with a Platypeza Jeremy |
