Hunting Dance Fly

[RyanB]

A dance fly (T. nubila) on the hunt. Had to put the ext tube on for these as they are only 3mm in length.


Didn't even see its prey till I got it on the big screen.

Thanks Graham

Cheers Alf, I didn't know where to start with identifying the prey as tiny as it was.

The other name for them is Globular springtail or globby.
