Thnk you Tony, it was your help I waited for!
P.S.
1. To be precies, in case of Limnophora it isn't prey, but unvertebrate carrion always. (In contrast with Liancalus virens, who is a real predator.)
2. Rather rare species L.pulchriceps. I add another image of male and female feeding on dead Ephemeroptera
