Hello!

Two very tiny Brachycera. I wonder, if the one on the third picture is the same family/species as the one on the first two (it's from ten days earlier). About 1.5-1.8 mm, at night at lamp in garden (northwest Germany).

The first two are Chloropidae (Aphanotrigonum?), the third is Drosophilidae (I think!)

Yes, and the last one is obviously a Scaptomyza.

Hmm... I'm rather sure, that picture #1 and #2 show the same individual. It was running around, and I was following with my camera to get at least one or two sufficient pictures.
Best regards,
Jürgen
