Photographed this Brancus mustelus jumping spider with its prey on 30 Sept 2018. Edge of a coastal bush, KZN north coast, just north of Durban, South Africa. Jumping spider size is around 4.5mm. I am interested to know whether the fly can be identified to any level. I thought possibly Tephritidae.
2 Similar photos with slightly different focus is all I have unfortunately.
