At least today the prey (escaped) was this Nematocera.
Ceratopogonidae?

Hi Nikita - I have been looking forward to another season of "Can you identify these mangled remains?" :D
1 is something small and black.;)
2 is Chironomidae.
3 is probably Chironomidae.

Thank you Gabor and Tony.
Tony, Nanna season is short, but I hope next couple weeks I'll send more.
Damned difficult object to observe this Nanna, but according Andrey Ozerov, nothing is known at all. Still cold in Moscow, very few Diptera, but Nanna is everywhere!:D

Thank you Tony. Nanna's diet seems rather monotonous!

Well, compare it to living in an apple orchard. In season, what are the chances you will eat mostly apples?
