Hello,

Looking at this one I would say Keroplatidae but are there Keroplatidae with an eyebridge like this one has ?
The picture was taken near Eys, in March.

Actually, this is a dark-winged fungus gnat (Sciaridae) feeding on material on the surface. That may either be some kind of liquid or, in this case propably, spores or pollen.

Thanks for correcting me Paul, but are there Keroplatidae sp. with an eyebridge ?
