This one has one pair of strong presutural acrosticals, followed by short hairlike acrosticals until the stronger prescutellar pair. Is it a female of
Botanophila fugax ?

I've also seen it sucking something dead (perhaps a snail).

It looks like this one which could be
Botanophila fugax (id Michael Ackland), but perhaps are there a lot of species with those features ?
