Hi,

I have photographed this small (1.5-2.0mm) yesterday on the gills of a mushroom.
Loc. 20 km West of Paris.
Any idea about the genus or family?
Thanks for your expertise,

FRV

Ceratopogonidae - Forcipomyia, I think

Thank you very much Tony! So far I had always found the maggots but never the adults!
