Hello,

I have lots of these only 2-3mm small flies in my garden (rhineland, germany). They seem to catch smaller insects. Is it possible to say something about family / genus or species?

Thanks,
Michael

Coenosia atra (Muscidae), I think.

Hello Tony,

I already had some photo of this species in the forum, but I couldn't remember. Now I found these again. Thank you,

Michael
