Today I witnessed the courtship, mating and what looked like oviposition of this nice Mycetophilid.
If there is any interest I could type down my observations.

25.03.10, Norway, bodylength about 4mm.

Followng pic is of what looked like oviposition, I might be WAY off with this :).

I did collect if anything is out of view.

Paul, would you take the specimen for a closer look?

I suspect that the one I caught was a female.

I could include the Limosininae :)
