tanks Paul. Ceratopogonidae was one of my shy candidates. I know, this is numerous and difficult group, but maybe can be these "white knees" characteristic?

Hi!
Forcipomyia, probably s.str.. It is impossible to determinate it to a species level - females of this genus are difficult to id, even when they are on microscope slides.

Is this probably Forcipomyia, too (I had stored it under Ceratopogonidae sp.)? At light on September-28, northwest Germany, about 1 mm.

It is Dasyhelea midges (also s. str., probablySmile). Similar to Forcipomyia but not so hairy and with characteristic patches on scutum and scutellum. Female of courseSmile
