Thanks for explanation Kahis, I understand that Slovakia is still not explored from dipterological point of view. I know that pictures have seldom enough information to identify the species.

It is not my specialization but such interspecific relations are fascinating to me. In this case I have observed amazon ant (Polyergus rufescens) in its raid when two wasps attacked the honeybee. They cut it to pieces which were attracted by Desmometopa flies and Tetramorium ants.
