Marina Krivosheina's guess (on first image) is Paracoenia fumosa Again, she is interesting what Tony or Cranefly think. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I'd agree with Paracoenia fumosa for the first one. I'm still working on the second!

I think Paracoenia fumosa is on the 1-2 photoes, but something strange is on the third. Maybe some Parydra? |

Thank you again. I'm planning to work with Lispe next year, so I will often ask your educated opinion! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Оne question from me now about Lispe. Nikita, has you sighed some agreement with Lipse to feed on Ephydridae exclusively or they manage to eat some other families of flies sometimes? |

I observed Lispe feeding on Dolichopodids. I think they take whatever is around them within a certain size range, but mostly Ephydridae and Dolichopodidae qualify.

Dear Cranefly, no I havn't agreement with Lispe. But I have agreement with Ephydridae. Ephydridae signed obligations to be common and widespread in any geagraphic zone,especialy near water margin! Ephydridae also promised to be more common than even Dolichopodidae! Generally I agree with Gabor, but I'd add (or even put in first position) larvae of various (Diptera?).
