Hi,
Id needed for this very small (maybe 2 mm), nicely colored fly, that kept "twitching" its wings.
Found in SW Sweden.
Many thanks
Markus

A Sepsid- Ensign/Scavenger fly. They are known for their delightful courtship displays

Great, that fits perfectly :)
Can you tell the species as well?
Looks a lot like photos of Sepsis fulgens, which seems to be a common species here.

Nah, I'm not a Sepsid expert, repost as "Sepsid ID" and Paul might know....
