Photograph taken on 13 February 2016 in my house, in urban environment, in Motril, Granada, Spain.
It fell into the glass of water I take in breakfast ... glup!
Apparent size with wings, about 3 mm

Thanks for help!

Hello Maherjos,

The M shaped black shiny mark is a feature of the genus Desmometopa. There are six European species. Sabrosky 1983 reviewed the world species.
