From midwest Sweden 2006-OCT-13. The shiny metallic look of the thorax and scutellum makes me think of Dolichopodidae. What do you think? I know it might be impossible to tell even family ... I'm also interested in what spider it is ;)
Edit: Subject changed (Dolichopodidae? (Spiders prey))

Nice picture.
Prey - Medetera jacula most probably: mesonotum striated, with 4 strong dc, femora black, antenna typical. And it is often sitting on stone walls.
Igor.

Very funny! Illustrated life and death of predatory fly Medetera jacula. E.g., see

Would you kindly permit to place your photo into Doli phototheque?

Yes, for non-commercial purposes it's ok. Hopefully we can get an iD also on the predator B)

Could the spider be
Drapetisca socialis (Linyphiidae)?
