Hello, 14th October on my window, near Lincoln UK. I think size was 6-7mm Also two pics from 16th October which looks the same, on a leaf overhanging water. Can the species be confirmed? Janet

If not M. fungorum for certain, this is a Mycetophila sp.?

As mentioned earlier here: the silbling species can only be distinguished by investigating the male genitalia. I would call yours: M. cf. fungorum (female). so long, xylo |
