Death on a leaf

Horner Pk., Richmond Hill, York Reg., Ontario

Death unfolds on a leaf (1/3) - A lone assassin bug has impaled a tiny scuttle fly next to the corpse of a much larger snipe fly. Perhaps the scuttle fly had fallen prey when it was attracted to what could have been the predator's first victim.
