hi flyforum,
I watched this Fannia sp. on Alnus-leaves.
These Fannia's where interested in the Symphyta-larvae which where eating of this leaves.
Later on, I found remains of these symphyta's, just skins or dead larvae?
And I could see that these Fannia's where interested in these 'things'.
I'll publice some pictures of these flies.

I should think the Fannia is investigating the cast skin of the larva.
