I think that it's a Coenosia, but which one?
This weekend at Calamocha, Teruel, NE Spain, in a grass patch near water.

Coenosia tigrina, I think.

Yes. C. trigrina. The prey also seems to be another Coenosia sp. So Coenosia takes Coenosia.

Thanks a lot Rui for the ID and Gabor for confirm and additional info!
What a casuality. A cannibal Coenosia! Great!
