Hi,

This I saw several times on my window outside at night. Around 5mm at a guess. Thanks!

Yes, thanks again Juergen. I found it and it looks like Mycetophila fungorum. :)

Mycetophila fungorum group. A few species that can only be identified based on genitalia characters.

Good to know that Paul. I don't know why I missed your post last time Gabor, and Juergen's quote, it must have been late! :D
