Hello, If it was not for the antennae on this tiny female I would have been thinking Sciaridae! I marked it as ~2.5mm, it was eating a very small thrips I think. Apart from the antennae it looks much like the male Microphor crassipes I have had, which I got again this year. Maybe the female has different shaped antennae, or is it another species? 23rd August, my garden near Lincoln UK. Janet blowave attached the following image:  [81.58Kb] http://cubits.org... |

Crossopalpus or Drapetis, cannot really tell for certain from these pictures.
