 Found these two animals at the shoreline of a small pond in Neuwaldegg, Vienna, Austria on 25.8.2024.
Can this be Hydromyza sp.? The first one maybe H. livens?
I have no idea about the second one, but it may belong to the same group. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Mike

 Thank you very much for your help Nikita!

I was, again, completely wrong with my assumptions Wink.

Greetings,
