Flyconing

I was browsing diptera.info and came across this article where Martin Suvák demonstrates how a fly (Coenosia attenuata) can be used to hunt insects. This is due to flies intriguing behavior of hunting. After taking off and capturing prey, it often returns to the same spot to finally manipulate and sucks its prey. Check it out. Many nice pictures and a nice narrative.
