Marina Krivosheina's guess (on first image) is
Paracoenia fumosa
Again, she is interesting what Tony or Cranefly think.

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

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!

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 have one question about Lispe. Has Nikita sighed some agreement with Lispe to feed on Ephydridae exclusively or they manage to eat some other families 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?).
