2 flies for ID

[djeyewater]

A couple of flies from yesterday for ID if anyone can help:

#1 Quite small, about 6mm. I didn't get a shot of the abdomen unfortunately.


#2 about 8mm


Thanks

Dave

no idea about #1 I'm afraid
#2 is a lacewing - tricky things to id even under the microscope

Ah yes, well done Dogghound, I'd forgotten about those.

Might try and get this at Rutland next week if I see it. 'bout time I tackled a new group

Looks like a good bit of literature, i also need to boost my current identification material.
