Beautiful fishfly (Neochauliodes sp.? N. borneensis?), female(?), family Corydalidae. Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo). The last time we spotted this was in Maliau Basin a couple of years ago.

Nice. :) Did you use natural light?

That looks a lot like the ant lion adults that we have over here in the US

Hey, you got two bugs for the price of one. There's a tiny ant-like one in #1. #2 looks like fishfly has moved around to have it for lunch.
