I have seen a lot of flies last days.
And that's a lot to work out..
With some remarkable flies (for me) I can use some help..

I'll give each fly a number, that's easier for you, if you wanna react.

greeting Robert,

1) it is beautiful!

Nr 1. is interesting, it could belong to the family Micropezidae, one of my favorite families.
Nr.2-3. belongs to Dolichopodidae, subfamily Dolichopodinae.
Nr. 4. is not a Diptera, but belongs to Hemiptera Sternorrhyncha.
Nr.5. belongs to Empididae (or Hybotidae) I think, not ot Asilidae.
Nr.6. I am not sure, but could be an Opomyzid fly. Others will surely correct me.

Please post your images belonging to different families in different forum threads.

1. Micropezidae. May be Neria cibaria?
2. = Xespok
3. Xespok meaned Homoptera. I think winged aphid.
4. I think - Hybotidae.
5. Opomyzidae. Geomyza (tripunctata?).

Hi Robert,

I agree with Xespok and the comments by Nikita. And fly nr. 5 is indeed Geomyza tripunctata.

2. When is see the bent medial vein I have the strong suspicion that is is genus Dolichopus.
3. Indeed a winged aphid.
4. Empididae: Rhamphomyia (Holoclera) sp., possibly R. nigripennis.

Number two is indeed a Dolichopus. It belongs to a group where females are mostly undeterminable. No. 1 is Neria cibaria as Nikita already said.
