today I made with my students some amber investgation; attached four pictures. Am I correct with my expectation about the identity of these flies et al?
(1) a dolichopodid male and ceratopogonid male
(2) smaller ceratopogogonid enlarged
(3) a grooup of three: a spider (web or ground) a dolichopodid and a larva
(4) enlarged a larva of probably beetle (between a grub and leaf beetle)

I think you are right on all counts but I think the ceratopogonid probably is a chironomid. I'd say the beetle larvae is (near?) Chrysomelidae.

Pic. 2 is a chronomid: look at the scutellum which has a central longitudinal ridge, absent in Ceratopogonidae. And the thorax is arched over the head.
