Hi,
This Salticus scenicus was successful last evening. Can its supper be identified? As to wing venation, I suppose it's a small Sarcophagid, for a Tachinid there are too few bristles. However, you can easily convince me of a Calliphorid or Muscid, too... (The spider doesn't care, the fly was yummy independent of its name!)
Regards, Sundew

This is Senotainia and very likely S. albifrons (Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae).
