Fly in a Clown Suit - _TNY_5819
A female Trypetoptera punctulata, a member of the marsh flies (Sciomyzidae).
For a species found in Sweden - this is a pretty exotic look. Body length about ~6 mm.
The larvae of T. punctulata actually prey on some snails and it's to some extent used as biological pest control.
