Request help to identify insects or other creatures. Please post the location that the insect you want to identify came from, this will help greatly in species determination.
Today when i was outside i noticed these very small insects? They either fell from the sky or blew from somewhere, like small flakes. There are problably hundreds of them, all dead, where i live in middle of Sweden. Any idea of what they are? They are roughly 1-2mm in size.

These insects appear to have been killed by an entomopathogenic fungus, which are parasitic fungi that only infect insects. This may simply be a natural occurrence, although some of these fungi are used agriculturally as biological control agents against crop pests such as thrips, aphids, and whiteflies.
