Medetera jacula (Spiders prey)
crex
From midwest Sweden 2006-OCT-13. The shiny metallic look of the thorax and scutellum makes me think of Dolichopodidae. What do you think? I know it might be impossible to tell even family ... I'm also interested in what spider it is Wink

Edit: Subject changed (Dolichopodidae? (Spiders prey))

A close-up ...

Nice picture.
Prey - Medetera jacula most probably: mesonotum striated, with 4 strong dc, femora black, antenna typical. And it is often sitting on stone walls.
Igor.

Yes, for non-commercial purposes it's ok. Hopefully we can get an iD also on the predator Cool

Could the spider be Drapetisca socialis (Linyphiidae)?
