 Hello!

I see this one every year, last year I got pics of them in copulation too but they were with my old camera. It is very small, could be 3mm. I will venture to say it reminds me of Empididae, that's all! I have seen them eat even smaller flies! Grin Thanks! Janet

 Thanks Nikita! I can't seem to recognise Hybotidae can I? Pfft

It looks a little like Crossopalpus curvinervis (male).

 I found a list of British Diptera, there's only two Crossopalpus species listed. C. humilis and C. nigritellus.

 Umm.. That's a list of specimens in a particular collection, and not a checklist of species..
