Hello!

These 2.5-4 mm Hybotids are numerously running fast on tree trunks at the moment here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Jan Willem suggested some Tachydromia species and to post them here in the forum. Because of the striking bands on the wings: can they be delimited to the species level despite of the poor photos (at these object sizes my camera stops collaboration ;-))?

Additionally here a pink 5 mm insect of which I am not even sure of the order. I don't think it's Diptera (too long antennae)?!? But the form of the head is really similar to the Hybotids above.

These banded Hybotids are extremely common here in Hungary too. I'll have some higher quality images, though these flies are quite active and therefore very difficult photo subjects.

The hybotids are Tachydromia sp. Several species to be found mainly on tree trunks, others on rocky surfaces. Difficult to identify from pics.

The second I will not even guess.

Hello, Paul and Xespok!

Thank you for your comments! These small flies (and several other unbanded species) can be found here from spring to autumn on tree trunks.
Best regards,
Jürgen

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
