Hi,
In the last days of March I came across tiny black flies drinking on damp forest paths. I still have recognition problems with the little black ones. Could they be Lonchaeids? Help is appreciated.
The locality was southwestern Germany, 20 km west of Stuttgart.
Thanks for all hints, Sundew

Sundew - they are specimens of Earomyia lonchaeoides - damp forest paths in early spring seem to be a favourite hang out for them!

Many thanks to all three of you - and Iain's species identification was the icing on the cake!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
