Hello,
These animals flew into a window pane of a building in Austria, Carinthia on August 10, 2023.
There was a light source nearby.
Which group do they belong to and can they be identified further?

Hello Heiko, it belongs to the Ceratopogonidae, it's a male and I
guess it could be a
Forcipomyia brevipennis.

Hello Eric,
wow, I didn't think you could identify the animal so precisely.
Thank you so much, Eric!
