Hello,
I´m new here and in the matter of Diptera I´m a layman but I would like to know what this is.
I found the very small animal in an wetland near Furth im Wald, Bavaria, Germany (15.5.06).

Best regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid, welcome to forum. Your insect, by the way is a Limoniid crane fly, lives near water. Other limoniids are usually much bigger.

Hello,
thank you very much for the fast determination!
I hope, I can still attach a question!!??
Is this a Limoniid crane fly too? I fotographed it near a pond (Furth im Wald, Bavaria) on 2005-05-01.

Greetings
Ingrid

Oh dear - yes I can see - the both flies are totally different!

Thank you Paul!
