Actually I didn't see the fly looking like it's ready to attack the mating common red soldier beetles (Rhagonycha fulva) before I looked at the photos on my computer.
The beaches in our neighborhood are filled with these scentless mayweeds now (Tripleurospermum inodorum), and insects like these on them.

Soldier beetles are highly desired by gardeners as biological control agents of a number of pest insects. The larvae tend to be dark brown or gray, slender and wormlike with a rippled appearance due to pronounced segmentation. They consume grasshopper eggs, aphids, caterpillars and other soft bodied insects, most of which are pests.
