 This Empidoidea was found in a garden just outside Stockholm Sweden. I think that it might be a Platypalpus? and possibly P longiseta? Is it possible to confirm the genus and species from these photos?

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
