surely, but in this case (R. livida?) the male seems to lose control with his gift and does not keep the prey in his hind legs as ii usually does. I expect that males in certain cases can use the same prey repetitively. Nice shot!

Empis]/i], not [i]livida. Cannot say from the picture. The unfortunate gift is another Empis... And when the female is handling the gift, the male does not have to hold on to it anymore.
