Hello!

I don't know, whether the couple and the single female are from the same species. Both measured only about 3.5-4 mm. In garden, northwest Germany.

The second photo looks like Hydrotaea dentipes.

Thank you! I must admit that I was also thinking of some Hydrotaea or near.

Copulated pair is Fannia cf. polychaeta:
female has wide and entirely shining fronto-orbital plates and t2 seems with av seta.
