Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Crumomyia pedestris? (Sphaeroceridae) on snow

Hello everyone,
I went for a walk today thinking of collecting some insects or spiders on snow and got really lucky. I've found three wingless flies what I think could be Crumomyia pedestris, Lauxaniidae - judging from the images in the gallery. Flies are about 4 mm long, caught on snow in Vilnius, Lithuania, around +0°C.
Sorry for the quality of the images - it's hard to make a photo of anything on snow...
