Hello!

I don't know into which family (Mycetophilidae? Mycetobiidae?) to put this 1.8 mm midge at a beech in forest (northwest Germany).

Sciaroidae, meaning Mycetophilidae or Keroplatidae. Alas, no wing venation visible...

Thanks, Paul! Keroplatidae was my first thought, but then I found Mycetobiidae and their antennae in the gallery...
