This one is better for ID purposes. The prey appears to be a Hover fly.
P.S. It would be better if you post different images as separate threads.

Nice to see this new species. Surely looks quite dangerous in the metallic blue and black. Good you could photograph it with a catch. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Predator at work. Yes indeed it looks deadly. Dont think the fly had a chance. The colors look lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, I guess they come in many colours.

Wow! Its colourrs look like a funky bar colour that I remember of The Park hotel. I was told it is techno colour and I couldn't believe the bright blue colour scheme. Now I guess even that so called tech theme had taken cues from the nature. :D
