Hi,
When I wandered through the beech wood along the Baltic coast of Usedom, I saw many small flies crawling in the wet moss or sitting on grass blades. I suppose they belong all to the same species. These pics are the best my camera could produce - I hope we can at least find out a family.
Thanks, Sundew

I totally agree with Jere: Probably Lonchoptera lutea.

My happiness is at its maximum. The smaller the flies, the better you know them! Warmest thanks to all contributors,
