Hello! Unfortunately I could only take this single, small photo. Is it possible to tell the family? Today in the sun at forest (northwest Germany), about 3 mm.

Just an amateur's opinion: it looks like Keroplatidae to me. Usually they are bigger, but there are some tiny species (Micromacrocera (Macrocerinae) is the smallest, 1 mm).

Hello! Thanks! My thoughts also went into direction Keroplatidae because of the antennae, but I was confused by the small size. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
