I ran into these 2 little mothflies when I was feeding fruitflies to my poison dart frogs. I could identify them as Psychoda sp., but can't figger out what species they are... They seem to be different too, furry wings and rather smooth wings... Can anybody of you help me identify the species please ? Thanks in advance. Furry wings  Smooth wings  Thanks in advance.

These are Psychodidae, but not Psychoda. In Psychoda, the wings are parallel in resting position, whereas this species has them diverging. Based on the wing colouration and antennal shape this looks like the common cosmopolitan species Clogmia albipunctata. |
