Adding to the two species of Phoridae I posted yesterday, here are more fly photos taken at the side of a wounded caterpillar. I believe the first two photos are of the same species, while the third is not.

Length: 1.9 mm for image one, 2.0 mm for image two, 2.8 mm for image three.

Woodland, West Virginia USA, 8 September 2006.

Sorry for the poor photos; these were really little flies!
