Here is a tiny fly from just north of Stockholm, Sweden which I photographed yesterday for the fun of it. I think it was aprox. 2-3 mm. I'll have to get a special lens and camera with more pixels to get good photos of such small insects. This is cropped hard and enlarged. I realize it's hard to tell perhaps more than which family it belongs ...

Edit: Changed subject (Unknown diptera)

Genus Platypalpus of the Hybotidae. Many species hunt for small insects, etc. on leaves.
