Hi,
It is Dolichopodid season, and everywhere on the leaves sit tiny ones that I suppose to be
Chrysotus. Though we had some informative threads already and Igor even supplied a key for some Finnish species, I am not sure whether it fits for my Berlin flies. At least the upper one has yellow legs, in contrast to
Ch. laesus, which I know to have dark ones. So I dare to bother you with that genus again, hoping to get genus confirmation at least.
Thanks, Sundew

The 1st pcture is
Chrysotus cilipes Meigen, 1824 most probably. The 2nd picture is an indeterminable
Chrysotus female.

That's more than enough for these tiny critters! Many thanks indeed. I think I'll stop photographing
Chrysotus now, my camera is unable to reveal more details. Nevertheless I enjoy working with the Raynox macro lens.
Regards, Sundew
