Hi!
These ones are pictures I took on the beginning of March near the Alps (at an altitude of 1000 m).
All these pictures were taken while I was walkin' on a snow path.
This is the first one...I haven't been able to identify even the family.

Now the second one.
I think the genus could be Trichocera, but is it possible to know the species?

Another picture of a subject similar to the last one, but without the "hairy" antennas.
Is it the same species or something different?
Thanx in advance :D

Hi!
I think Heleomyzidae, male Chironomidae, Mycetophilidae.

Second is subfamily Diamesinae. In North America the common winter midges are
Diamesa. I can't tell genus from the photo.
