This fly, which I believe to be a Exarasilus female, was photographed very close and minutes after that I registered the male shown in picture #5, while she was eating this small wasp.
I would like to get confirmation that she is actually a Exarasilus sp. as I suppose.
Coordinates of the place where I took this photo:
Latitude: -22.538403081866, Longitude: 43.228422403336
Date and time:

Thanks for help!

Yes,
Eraxasilus sp.; the femora are very spiny ventrally, especially the anterior four.
Note: I will be away from my computer for the next month...
Cheers, Eric

Just one question, Eric: when you said "next month", means november, or next 30 days?
I am asking because I have a lot of pictures of Asilidae to show, and you are giving me a great help with IDs.
Thank you, Eric!
