What about prey, Chironomidae?
L.innocua is large Limnophora

Black is right: it is a homopteran.

You're asking a bit too much Wink. Maybe you'll pick the remains of its meal next time? I'd say Derbidae, though.

Hi Dima.
Exgauster was full of material, so I decided do not collect the fly with prey (today I collected in rather empty exgauster Pompilidae + sprider prey - both pinned Grin)
Derbidae from which superfamily?

Derbidae are typically larger. I think this creature is maybe 3 mm or so. Seems to be too small.

But my idea was also Derbidae, if it is an Auchenorryncha.

But I was more thinking about Sternorrhyncha. Maybe some Psylliidae, Triozidae, or rather the family that this creature belongs to. Once i knew the family, but forgot the info. I am so unintrested in Sternorrhyncha you know Wink



Some Derbidae from Japan.

Well, picture number 3 seems to be the clearest, and it does show a body like that of an auchenorrhynchan bug, but it also shows a hairy wing margin, which is not something I can remember seeing in a bug. So I am wondering whether it could be a small trichopteran or a moth. That would also explain the number of wing veins that there appear to be - too many for most bug families.

Thank you Jere, Dima, Gabor and Tony.
I hope to come back to this wonderful place (Khao Chamao tiny NatPark - just for Diptera) with empty exgauster specialy for Limnophora innocua (or also L.fallax and L.prominens)
