These flies were photographed on October 23th in central Greece. They were walking on a dead Apis melifera, which was getting eaten by a Thomisus onustus. Any help with the identification is highly appreciated.

I think these a Milichiidae, genus Desmometopa?

The ones that show enough details are certainly Desmometopa, but species from other genera may join in the frenzy.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
