Small fly - feeding on the carcase in a spider web - in spite of the presence of the spider. ID appreciated - Northern Thaiiand. Best regards and thank you all for previous assistance. Ian ianjacobs96 attached the following image:  [139.08Kb] Edited by ianjacobs96 on 04-05-2013 01:03  |

Milichiidae, I think. Maybe changing the title would attract the attention of specialists. Greetings, Henrik |

Could also be Chloropidae. There are a few chloropids coming to spider preys as well.

Without any doubt a kleptoparasitic Milichiidae [and not Chloropidae] |

Looks like the posterior eye margin is indented, which would make it a Milichiella female (Milichiidae) |
