Found on compost, 9-07-2010, Dwarsgracht, Netherlands

Is species possible?
Found two species, one of 2-3mm (female) and one of 1-2mm (male)
Are they the same species..?

Now you seem to have spotted really difficult families - I doubt that neither the reputedly difficult Odiniidae nor Sphaeroceridae will get many species names proclaimed here...

I've caught only one single odinid during my 10-year career, thus congratulations to your compost in any case!
