Regarding the ovipositor i would agree with Machimus. Cant see enough for positive id species. You write that the creature is only 1 cm. But is seems larger compared with its prey the damsel. It looks rather big even.

Thank you Reinoud! Youre right with the length. The damsel is Ischnura elegans, with a length of 3cm. So, the Asilidae could be 2-2,5cm long. Dennis |
