Hello, today I found these tiny gants numerously at an old musty mushroom. Perhaps it is possible to designate the family? The dates: 3.2.2010, Furth im Wald, Bavaria, Germany Regards Ingrid Ingrid Altmann attached the following image:  [73.23Kb] |

Hi Ingrid, Since all the experts have gone off-line, I'll suggest Sciaridae Stephen. |

You hardly need to be a 'specialist' to arrive at Sciaridae. However, if you gave the genus (or even better, species) name, then you would be a true specialist.

I thought I'd better leave you something to do! If I gave the species I'd be a fool, not a specialist  |

If you gave the correct species, you'd be a genius!

I'm told it's possible to be both a genius and a fool. Unfortunately only one of these is within my reach. |
