User's notes
This fly was sitting on a honeybee that was being eaten by a spider. If you look closely there is also a tiny mite or something stuck to the underneath of the fly's abdomen.

Thanks @HelenCross - I know, so many layers of dependency! I confess I didn't actually notice the mite until I looked at the photos, it would have barely visible to the eye.
