    Cheryl Hoyle sends photographs of a tiny fly and a micro moth from View Royal.  We are not at all certain what the fly is, but a possible guess might be Bradysia from the Famliy Sciaridae.  Flies of this Family are known as dark-winged fungus gnats – although not all have dark wings.  We thank Libby Avis for identification of the micro moth.
