I found this robber fly with prey and upon closer inspection, i realized it's a Cerambycid. Glenea sp.? Selangor, Malaysia.

The robber fly was about 15mm and the beetle 3 to 4mm. Here's a 100% crop showing the beetle up close.

Right...all the other Glenea I've seen were much much bigger :D

3-4 mm seem too little for a Glenea...

Hi Franceso, the robber fly was about 15mm and the beetle probably 3 to 4mm.

I add these info and a 100% crop in the first post. Thanks!

Could you give us an hint on the size of these insects?

Thanks, guys. The robber fly is Ommatius sp. - ID credit: Eric Fisher.

Can anyone confirm the ID of the Cerambycid? Thanks.
