The large one (about 10mm) I believe it is a Empis opaca. What about the tiny one?

Based on jizz probably a female Ceciomyiid, but no definitive feature is visible of the fly. (This is true obvioulsy for the small fly.)

Pauk, in fact there are three of them around. Are you sure that they are thrips and not something else like a Meloid beetle fist instar larva, which should be also common during the Empis season.
