Berlin - October 2019

Hello everyone,

I found some Phoridae species at my balcony and buzzing around my flat. I also found pupae and similar specimens have emerged. I think that it is Megaselia genus and some research led me to Megaselia rufipes but there are over 250 species in Germany. yikes!

I would like to know if anyone has keys to Megaselia?
some of them are orange. Anyone have a list of orange Megaselia to help narrow the list of options?

In any event, i am hoping for confirmation of the genus and somekeys/ tips for identification.

Best wishes,
John
