From my garden yesterday near Copenhagen, Denmark. Thousands of them on certain leafs on the bushes and foraging on Solidago. Walther Gritsch has guided me to Scatopsidae, is it possible to go to species? Thanks in advance Ruth Ahlburg attached the following image:  [97.09Kb] Ruth Ahlburg Denmark |

Last picture. I wonder what they are doing on the leaves, eating something? Best Ruth Ahlburg attached the following image:  [96.94Kb] Ruth Ahlburg Denmark |

Such aggregations at this time of year usually are Apiloscatopse as are these, indeed. I cannot check their identity without my keys, though... Scould be picea or scutellata.

Paul, I checked in the key of Freeman & Lane. I think it is A. scutellata. Femora are all black.
