This Lauxaniidae I found yesterday (sice about 4-5 mm) at Giethoorn, was eating a larvae of a leaf-miner fly ?.
Can it be a Tricholauxania sp. ?

Dear Joke
Tricholauxania not, Meiosimyza, may be rorida, but all characters are not visible. It was eating a larvae :o?...strange!

I think it was not eating larvae, rather licking the plant juice caused by injury by the mining larva.

Thanks !!! (they al look almost the same to me....yellow)
And I think, that what I see as larve, is the proboscis, but on the photo it looks a little bit as larve..:D
