Thanks a lot! It's a really interesting fly, too bad couldn't get a better photo to show its prey.

Wonderful spotting of this predatory fly! I know I gave you a link to a North American page but this fly is native to Europe, introduced to North America. I found these in my yard last year: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/14394298
