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 Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [94.26Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
