Hello,
On June 10, I saw this very small fly on the Zschopau, in Saxony, Germany. What is it?


Thank you in advance
Greetings

That is a nice one - Phthiria minuta (Bombyliidae)! (See https://diptera.i...o_id=11181 and the key https://home.hccn...hiria.html.)
As to photography: try to equip your camera with a Raynox DCR-150 macro lens, you'll get much better results!

Herzlichen Dank

Ich mache alle Fotos nur mit dem Handy, dafür sind sie aber doch ganz gut?!

Liebe Grüße
