Hello!
This 5-6 mm fly visited the garden lantern on May-04 (northwest Germany). On the third picture is another individual. I don't know whether it belongs to same family/species...

Hello!
No suggestions? I thought, a fly with such a striking proboscis would be easy (at least to family level), but I can't find a match. :(

Empidoidea, I assume. Paul seems to be away. Let's wait for him B)

Thanks! I was thinking in that direction, too. But this one looks so different from all Empids and Hybotids I know...
