Hello,

I see a lot of this type of midges (size about 3 mm ) these days.
Any idea ?

Looks like a typical Sciaridae.

Thank you Xespok,

I was a bit irritated by that curved thing at the end of the abdomen (ovipositor, I guess) which I didn't see at other Sciaridae-pictures.

It's a female Sciaridae no doubt!

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
