Phoridae sp.I think, see my thread. How did you get it to stop running around?

Thank you all! Roger, I don't think this one was running around. At least not much. There was another, smaller, one running around like crazy and constantly changing direction. After 10+ attempts to photograph it with only the tip of the abdomen (out of focus) as result I gave up
