May 07, 2006, Bekasovo-1 Station, Naro-Fominsk district, Moscow region, Russia. Size around 20mm.
Of course I was focusing mainly on the ants which move not so restlessly when dealing with their catch/drinking. Yet I hope the picture still might be informative enough for the noble company to figure out at least the family.

Many thanks Cranefly - yep I came to same conclusion comparing it with pictures in Smith (1989), p. 185.
