Scatopsidae?
The minute black scavenger flies or "dung midges", are a family, Scatopsidae, of nematoceran flies. Despite being distributed throughout the world, they form a small family with only around 250 described species in 27 genera, although many await description and doubtless even more await discovery. These are generally small, sometimes minute, dark flies (from 0.6 to 5 mm), generally similar to black flies (Simuliidae), but usually lacking the humped thorax characteristic of that family.

Blacklighting at Castellow Hammock thanks to Tiffany M from EEL! She was in the preserve with Dr. Lawrence Lopez and Stefan, Ashley and Giancarlo conducting research on land planarians and it was great meeting them all in the field :-)
I had two sheets set up, each lit by two UV "DJ" blacklights (395-400 nm LED) hooked up to USB battery packs. There weren't exactly a ton of insects at the sheets but I only had them lit from around 9PM-11:30PM. Wind was negligible in the hammock and it was very dark despite the full moon thanks to the forest canopy.
All of my blacklighting observations from this area tonight:

Here's a video showing the DJ blacklights in action at the Pinecrest campground (Big Cypress) from Summer 2019: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk
