Misschien een futiele vraag, maar: weet iemand welke soort dit precies is?
Maybe a futile question but: does anyone know what species this is exactly ?

Psychodidae are again one of those families for which the microscope is a must to identify most species. I have no reason to assume that it is different for this species. Superficially I would say it resembles some Pericoma species. Any information about size, locality and circumstances could help us a little further.

Psychoda alternata, the 'drain fly' could also be an option, for example if you find it indoors near the kitchen or bathroom sink.
