These tiny Diptera were found always near a Bromeliad, in Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil.
I have no idea about the family, can anybody help me?

I found a strange larva (maybe Periscelididae) inside the phytotelma, maybe they are related?
This is the thread:
https://diptera.i...d_id=82225

Any idea will be appreciated.
Thank you very much!!

Probably Aulacigaster
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

Thank you very much Dmitry!
Following your suggestion, I found a nice Smithsonian paper, indeed, they seem to be "Aulacigaster bromeliae".

I really appreciate it!!

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
