I didn't disturb them to know their name :D
Little size but can you ID them ?
Thanks in advance :)

Phoridae - Perhaps Megaselia sp. if so, it is impossible to know which one. It is one the messy genus there is in diptera :P

Phoridae - Gymnophora.

Simple, slender legs and no long setae on frons are good characters for this genus.

Don't worry Jorge : I have the same feeling in other matters... Please continue your efforts, you sure are better than me in diptera ID...:)

Thanks Kahis for the ID :)
