Hello!

This fly was only about 1 mm small and running around fastly on a Hydrangea leaf in our garden (northwest Germany) yesterday. I'm not sure into which family I shall put it. Possibly Phoridae?

Phoridae. Could well be a dreaded Megaselia...

Thanks again. Currently there are many Phoridae running around on leaves. Some even smaller than this one, but most entirely black.
Best regards,
Jürgen
