[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Face to face - David and Goliath - the ant and the fly. It looks like a confrontation such as "get out off my way". Probably, however, the two do not really notice one another.
There is a small Salix caprea bush in our garden. Interestingly, that's the place where I observe most of the insects and impressive insect scenes, such as this one.

Species identification:
The fly > probably Sarcophaga carnaria (there are several but similar Sarcophaga-pecies)
The ant > I don't know
The white small dots on the leaf > skins of lice
The plant > Salix caprea
