I agree with Nikita, but which species is difficult to say (at least for me:D).

Thx. I'll put this down as Tetanocera sp. This was a much smaller speceies that the Tetanocera I usually see.

I think, rather T. arrogans than T. montana.

Xespok, a rather stupid question perhaps, but is that some kind of net used to catch insects? I don't collect myself so I have no idea what equipment collectors use ... but perhaps it could be used to temporarily catch photo objects :)

Nikita,

montana hints to a species living in mountains, the photo was made very far away from mountains, on the steppe region of Hortobagy.

crex,

This is part of the setup that we use for attracting moth with light, so it is really there to allow the moths to sit down on something near the light. There is a sheet to which a net is attached to make the whole structure sturdier. Very few diptera are attracted to lights, but interestingly Sciomyzidae are quite often seen.
