Hello,

these flies were on the flower of a Cirsium sp. The size was about 5 mm, maybe less.

Best regards,

A fungus gnat (Sciaroidea) and it looks like one of the long-beaked genera. I don't know which you have in Germany.

Thank you. As I understand Sciara analis and S. hemerobioides cannot be seperated by appearance, so it could be either.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
