Hello,
If it was not for the antennae on this tiny female I would have been thinking Sciaridae! I marked it as ~2.5mm, it was eating a very small thrips I think.
Apart from the antennae it looks much like the male Microphor crassipes I have had, which I got again this year. Maybe the female has different shaped antennae, or is it another species?

Crossopalpus or
Drapetis, cannot really tell for certain from these pictures.

Thanks Paul, not a regular one!
Are those bends in the wings vein near the tip more likely to make it Crossopalpus?
