Dagger Fly with Prey

Awhile back, Alex Wild posted some shots of dagger flies. I commented at the time that I had recently seen and photographed the flies, but didn’t know what they were. Thanks, Alex, for saving me the effort of figuring out what I photographed here.

I can’t make out what it has captured, a beetle maybe?

    It is neat how that looks so much like a (not closely-related?) Asilid, such as Diogmites, the way it hangs by one foreleg.
