Hi, this big (3 mm, without wings) Phortica attacked my girlfriend, it could not be repelled - fortunately :) So I cought it and photographed. Could it be the same disputed sp as in the gallery?

Phortica's are very attracted to sweat and tears (but can only be identified by genitalic dissection). Good to have a girlfriend who will stand still in these situations !
