 Hello!

A week ago there sat a fly on a bush at a wood lane at the outskirts of Zwickau, SE Saxony, Germany. It was 8 mm long and slurped up a bug.

Can you identify this fly and its sex, please?

Thank you

 It is a female Dioctria robberfly. I think it is D. linearis but let's wait for an expert opinion.

 And the prey is an anthocoridae, possibly genus Orius.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
