Looking for some food. It is a specimen of
Desmopetopa (Milichiidae) and they have an uncanny sense of smell to locate dead honeybees on which they can be found feeding. As a rule these bees are captured by predatory insects (Asilidae, Reduviidae, etc.) or spiders (either in webs or, like this one, by crab spiders).
