Hello!

In this and the next postings I have some Diptera, photographed at night in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany) in the last 5 days (if not indicated otherwise). Any help appreciated, thanks!

I start with 3 Nematocera. The couple on the first pic had so long antennae, that I first thought they were some Hymenoptera. Length about 10-15 mm.




The one on the right here looks similar, but is smaller (5-7 mm). Could the left one (5 mm) be some Cecidomyiidae?

They are two Keroplatidae (both Macrocera sp.) and on Mycetophilidae (possibly Mycetophila fungorum group).

Hello, Paul!



Thanks a lot! I suspected Keroplatidae, but was not sure enough to express that assumption. I did not think of Mycetophilidae...
