Hi,
Recently in the evening I watched a swarm of dancing gnats with long legs. They never sat down for a photo, so I tried to get them in front of the lens by chance. The results are not very good, I'm afraid, but as the flies seem to be common I would like to know how to address them. Thanks for help, Sundew

Difficult to be certain, but they could be Anisopodidae.
