Is it okay if I post a group of photos like this one for identification or do I need to post it seperately

Post separately is always better.

But since these were posted for identification... :)

1. Chloropidae?
2. Hydrellia (Ephydridae)
3. ? (first though was Psilota - Ephydridae)
4. Pipunculidae cf. Dorylomprha

number 5 remember to me, with strong appealing, a simuliid. :) Though, I might be wrong.

5. Ceratopogonidae. Only the first, swollen segment of the broken antennae is visible.

Hehe, separately would be as in 'in separate threads'. No need to repost them now, though. ;)

#2 is (still) a Hydrellia, no question marks needed :)
#3 is definitely a ephydrid near Psilopa.
#4 You are right, the 1st crossvein is close to the middle of the discal cell -> Tomosvaryella, not Dorylomorpha (at least in Europe, IIRC some oriental Dorylomorpha are close to Tomosvaryella in this aspect)

Size estimates can be very valuable (assuming they are correct!).
