This Brachycera was found in a "light trap" for butterflies end of June this year just outside Stockholm Sweden. Is it possible to say what genus this can be?
It had a characteristic "look" with the back end bent under the body, wing about 3 mm

Many thanks John and Jan. I have checked and there are, as far as I can see, no similar species here in Sweden so Microsoma exiguum should be right Kind Regards Ole
