Hello dear friends, In this image you can see one dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria) that has captured another fly as prey. Although their name suggests otherwise, adult dung flies don't live on dung, but mainly on nectar and other insects. What exactly happens? Hunting and feeding: The dung fly is a predatory fly that grabs its prey (often other fly species) and sucks it empty with a sharp proboscis. In the image you can see the yellow, hairy dung fly holding the dark fly tightly during this process. Thank you very much for your visit! #macro, #dung fly, #ferocious parasitic fly, #prey, #insects
