I spotted this picturesque creature on fallen leaves of Acer and caught using a plastic film box. Size 3 mm. A sunny place on the edge of a mixed forest.

Thanks a lot Jere. Checking the Web I've found an article by Bernhard Merz on Lauxaniidae described by Fallen at diptera.info Downloads (sic!) and an old synopsis of North American species by A.L. Melander (1913, Psyche, 20(2), http://psyche2.en...20-057.pdf).
