Around Moscow, 20 aug, on dead tree.
Sorry for the bad quality of image. Sitting on dead tree I hunted Collembolas on tree barc. Instead of Collembola I've seen this animal.
I even can't tell you his size, but it have to be rather small as I used Canon 100macro with 56mm additional macrorings.

Looks like a male from the family Cecidomyiidae to me!
But maybe somebody else can tell us more about this one.
Greetings,

Greetings,

Nothing more than that you are right and that they are neigh impossible to identify. Grin
