Can any kind of ID be made? Prey looks like a Chironomidae or something like that. 29 June 2008 in a forest area (Helsingborg, Sweden) Thanks! lagura attached the following image:  [157.47Kb] Edited by lagura on 27-12-2008 19:30  |

Hello, Lars! I think this is an Anthomyiid and the "prey" is none (only accidentally there and dead...). Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hi Juergen, It could be an Anthomyiidae, now that you mention it. The "prey" must have confused me  . Still, the fly has one foot on it but that could be to just move it aside.
