Detail pictures are Chironomidae. Perhaps a Smittia?

Thanks for all comments. Found:Germany, Saxonia, Gerichshain near Leipzig, 4. Oct. 2020 Hello, I was today on this place, where yesterday a friend had have the problem with the invasion of little flys. What i found you can see at pictures. I think it is Chironomida and not Scatopsidae. Best regards Michael Michael V attached the following image:  [119.57Kb] |

I'm puzzled as to why your initial photos show an all-female swarm. I can suggest two possible explanations - one is that this species is parthenogenetic, and males are absent (or very rare) - this would suggest that the males you photographed are a different species. Or that the initial photo shows a mixed swarm of males and females - some species of chironomid (e.g. Corynoneura have males that look very like females (short antennae and compact bodies). Again, it would suggest that the later photo is of a different species. Of course, John may have a simpler explanation!

Hello, i hope, in few days i get some pictures from microscope from exemplars of the first night. So we can see, if its one species or two different. Best regards Michael |

Paul suggested Smittia. According to the guide to holarctic Chironomidae, "Smittia is characterized by possessing bare wings and squama, strongly pubescent to hairy eyes and a strong subapical seta on the antenna." |
