A species of
blow-fly belonging to the
Bengalia
genus (species unidentified). Unlike the bright green or blue of most blow-flies, members of Bengalia tend to have dull colours. They are noted as
kleptoparasites of
ants and will snatch food and
pupae being carried by ants, or feed on winged
termites.Photo:
