Empid/dance fly with prey of a St Mark's fly

Empid/dance fly with prey of a St Mark's fly
I had no idea that these flies took other insects for food until I saw this and other Empids flying around whilst clutching St Mark's flies and then sucking their insides. A gruesome part of nature, but one which I thought might make an interesting photo.
Photographed in Newton, Suffolk, England.
