An acquaintance of mine had his house invaded by a large number of these little guys recently. He resides in Arlington, Virginia, United States. He estimates their length at 3mm, and they apparently just sorta hang out on the ceiling unless provoked. I'm only a hobbyist, but my first guess was Paralimna punctipennis until I got a dorsal view that shows it is definitively yellow on the bands. Any guesses? I resized the photos to conform with forum rules, but the originals are http://www.dpchal..._ID=819190 and http://www.dpchal..._ID=817064 Thanks a lot! spiritualspatula attached the following image:  [127.87Kb] |

It is a species of the Drosophilidae, the Drosophila repleta group. They all have a mottled mesonotum.
