Here is a mycetophilid-ish looking couple from 11t June, seen in a wood in southwestern Germany (50 km west of Stuttgart). Though the wing venation seems to be distinctive, I am not able to get a good genus match, so help is greatly appreciated!

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
