Hello, Looking at the third antennal segment and the long arista I suppose these should be Sphaeroceridae sp. Is that right and is it possible to get more specific ? Both ( size about 2 mm ) were seen in October near Heerlen . Ben Ben Hamers attached the following image:  [89.21Kb] Edited by Ben Hamers on 22-05-2012 19:36 |

I think you are right, though the second one superficially reminds me of Ephydridae, too. Mainly because of the apparently pale parts on the head and thorax, but I suspect it may well be a flash artifact.
