 Hello!

These pics were taken yesterday in Ostwestfalen/Germany in our garden and at the forest edge. Can at least the families be determined? Thanks in advance!

The first one was only 2 mm. I have no idea about it.

The second one sat on tree trunks and was about 2.5-3 mm:

The third one was the "largest" with about 4 mm:

Best regards,

 second - I would say Dolichopodidae
third - I would say Lonchaeidae.

 First one gives the impression of Ephydridae.

 Hello, Jorge!

Thanks! Chloropidae and Dolichopididae/Medetera sound plausible to me. Cannot judge about Lonchaeidae, never saw a male (?) with such large eyes.
Best regards,
Jürgen

I have only two books solely on flies, no special literature, and they are in German:

1. Joachim & Hiroko Haupt: "Fliegen und M?cken" (ISBN 3-89440-278-4)
2. Frieder Sauer: "Sauers Naturf?hrer: Fliegen und M?cken" (ISBN 3-923010-07-9)

(Fliegen = flies, M?cken = gnats, midges)
Best regards,
Jürgen

 I thought about Scaptomyza (pallida) but the antennae appeared to big to me and the wings too broad...

 Hello, Jorge!

?? ;-)

The books are only field guides - with nice but only habitus photos (only generic drawings of details of wing venation, bristles etc. in the preface). I've got them from a second-hand book shop for under 10 ? each.
Best regards,
Jürgen

The Haupt exists also in French, and maybe in English too.

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
