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.?

Mycetaulus bipuncataus (Fallen) (Piophilidae). Do you have mushrooms nearby?

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

Please change the title and, perhaps, propose your photos to the gallery.
