Chlorophana has said me
"Lonchaeidae I think.
On the other hand, I did not know this diet to them.
There is a specialist in this family on DI, Iain MacGowan."
So Iain what do you think about ?
Everybody can say something Grin

Yep, it's a lonchaeid.

They are known to feed on honeydew. I guess the guts of a Syrphus is one place where you can find such sugare liquids Shock

What an interesting photograph ! sahows up the value of this site. Not that much is known about what adult Lonchaeidae feed on, obviously some species do feed on flowers & honeydew but given the number of individuals which must be about in woodlands they are not seen feeding very often. There is an interesting record in the literature of one species - Lonchaea affinis - being caught in reasonable numbers at meat traps set out for Calliphorids in Norway - so it could be that some species at least like a little meat with their veg. .....
