Hello,

I see a lot of this type of midges (size about 3 mm ) these days.
Any idea ?

Looks like a typical Sciaridae.

Thank you Xespok,

I was a bit irritated by that curved thing at the end of the abdomen (ovipositor, I guess) which I didn't see at other Sciaridae-pictures.

It's a female Sciaridae no doubt!
