Hi!

This very small (< 2.5 mm) fly visited the light in our garden (northwest Germany) two nights ago. It was waving with its wings like some Sepsidae and other flies with marked wings. Is it Geomyza sp.?

Many thanks! A new family for me. Of course there are many mushrooms in the darker corners of our garden, in compost etc.
Best regards,
Jürgen
