Hi everyone, found three new creatures today that I've never seen before, any ideas what these guys are ? C+C welcome -

obviously some kind of fly but I've never seen one like this before approx 3-4mm long.

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

just a crop of the first one

another tiny little fly about 2-3mm in length

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

and finally, I think i've seen one of these before on this forum but I can't find the thread that says what they are. about 1mm in length and there are hundreds of them- fast little things too

(i couldn't get the file to compress properly- thats why he looks slightly cartoonish.)

cheers in advance,
