05 nov, Moscow, park, fallen leaf and dead wood, semi-freez - semi-active, 1-1,5mm.
Even if ID isn't possible, please, is it same species or two different?

Looking at sexe (females), dustings of abdomen, color of fore-legs... I would call them different species.
Maybe the first picture may be the easiest to determine by a specialist (like Disney, or maybe by Paul?).
Anyone else who would like to grow to be a Phoridae-specialist?? Smile

Hehe, more like hopeless specialist for good familiesWink

Sorry, cannot really help with these. Different species (note also color of palpi/proboscis), but which ones is probably impossible to say.

I did once write to prof. Disney and asked if he could confirm the identiify of a phorid new for Finland. He was very kind and did what I asked - as far as it is possible from a good photo. But he also said that he is very busy and he receives much more ID requests than he can handle so if the material isn't reared or obviously a new species, please ask somebody else. Sounds like a reasonable policy to me. Frown

Cheers,
Kahis

That's a fair policy indeed.
Even better would be, to 'breed' some more Phorid-specialists around here... Kahis.... Wink
Guess Disney would be happy to support? haha

Thank you Jere and Andre.
Bieng "old Dipterologist" you forget how important is to know that this fly is Phorida. I remember, as Jere explain me what is Phorida only 2 month ago. So I think that even available kit of 10 unknown Phoridae sp. is realy usefull for any newcomer in Dipterology.

The reason why the suicide-rate in Finland is so high, does not apply to our dearest Jere? Very good, keep the spirit(s) up! Grin

Uh oh yeah, the Finnish suicide rate. I promise I'll do my best to keep it from rising yet higherShock It's a good think I'm an ugly bugger and thus have no problem with womankindGrin, 'cause the ladies are what drives many men to suicide. Some people seem to think Romeo & Juliet is a DIY (do it yourself) guidebook Sad

Spirits of the bottle-stored kind have nothing to do with my previous posts. Scary as it is, that's what I'm like when soberShock. Which is pretty much all the time, never seen to point of being drunk. A glass of wine with good Italian food (like tonight) or a post-sauna beer is about the maximum for me.

OK, I'd better stop here, we may already have slipped slightly off-topic.

Cheers,
Kahis (who's feeling a bit tipsy after a perfect dinner and defenitely shouldn't be posting messages on any board)

The ladies? I thought the booze.
Well, if it's the ladies, one can always turn to the men (for women: visa versa). But you're right, we are slightly (but just slightly) getting off-topic... Grin
Long live the tipsy people! Where's MY booze now..............?
Ah!.. There it is....

Impressive.

I am more than happy to shed my "phorid expert" coat and give it to someone who actually knows the family.
