Hello,

Looking at the third antennal segment and the long arista I suppose these should be Sphaeroceridae sp.
Is that right and is it possible to get more specific ?
Both ( size about 2 mm ) were seen in October near Heerlen .

I think you are right, though the second one superficially reminds me of Ephydridae, too. Mainly because of the apparently pale parts on the head and thorax, but I suspect it may well be a flash artifact.
