Shot today, 6 hours before in India - Chennai. ID Required for the larger fly. The larger fly is devouring a dolichopodiae which looked very fresh.. not sure if it is a kill. The larger fly kept its middle leg on the head of LL fly which eventually got detached and rolled away. Can someone please clarify if this is a predator, the family and if possible the Genus? Thanks. Edit: Many thanks to John Carr for the ID Edit: Many thanks to Nikita Vikhrev for the ID SKAN attached the following image:  [266.5Kb] Edited by SKAN on 29-11-2016 23:58 |
