Hello,
On 27 October 2019 in the south of France.
The small fly (3.5 mm) ate another winged insect.
Are the Lauxaniidae "carnivores" or is it another family?
Thank you for your help in identifying us.

Thank you very much Juergen,
I don't know what differentiates the species. If the color of the legs is a criterion, it is visible here but if it is the nervation of the wings, I unfortunately do not have any other photos.
