Hello!
This one looks quite different from the many other Sciaridae around now (garden, Ostwestfalen/Germany). Or is it another family? Length about 2-2.5 mm.

Ahh..., yes. Looks very similar to the Scatopsidae in the gallery. I simply didn't think of that family. ;)

Yes, a Scatopsidae, more precisely Apiloscatopse.

Many thanks! I didn't expect a genus level ID on this one... :)
