From midwest Sweden 2006-OCT-13. The shiny metallic look of the thorax and scutellum makes me think of Dolichopodidae. What do you think? I know it might be impossible to tell even family ... I'm also interested in what spider it is  Edit: Subject changed (Dolichopodidae? (Spiders prey)) crex attached the following image:  [111.5Kb] Edited by crex on 25-11-2006 11:08 |

Nice picture. Prey - Medetera jacula most probably: mesonotum striated, with 4 strong dc, femora black, antenna typical. And it is often sitting on stone walls. Igor. |

Very funny! Illustrated life and death of predatory fly Medetera jacula. E.g., see http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=2669&pid=11374#post_11374 Would you kindly permit to place your photo into Doli phototheque? Igor, http://www.dolicho.narod.ru/ |

Igor, http://www.dolicho.narod.ru/ Yes, for non-commercial purposes it's ok. Hopefully we can get an iD also on the predator  |

Could the spider be Drapetisca socialis (Linyphiidae)? |
