Psychodidae (ID please)

looks similar to Clogmia albipunctata (I don't think it's this species),
may be it's Satchelliella sp. ?
but genus or species identification is not certain, because of 31 genera in the family with 142 species (in Italy)

With nearly a million specimens representing over 5,000 species, the Museum of Comparative Zoology boasts the world's largest collection of ants. Their classification and study has been the lifelong pursuit of Harvard Professor Edward O. Wilson. This drawer contains ants belonging to the genus Pheidole, the subject of a forthcoming book by Wilson. There are more species of Pheicole than any other any genus, making it the largest itn the world.

Visit to Insectropolis with Brian, Nana and Papa, August 2009.
From Wikipedia:
"A weevil is any beetle from the Curculionoidea superfamily. They are usually small, less than 6 mm (¼ inch), and herbivorous. There are over 60,000 species in several families, mostly in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils). Some other beetles, although not closely related, bear the name "weevil", such as the biscuit weevil (Stegobium paniceum), which belongs to the family Anobiidae.
Many weevils are damaging to crops. The grain or wheat weevil (Sitophilus granarius) damages stored grain. The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) attacks cotton crops. It lays its eggs inside cotton bolls, and the young weevils eat their way out.
Weevils are often found in dry foods including nuts and seeds, cereal and grain products, such as pancake mix. In the domestic setting, they are most likely to be observed when a bag of flour is opened. Their presence is often indicated by the granules of the infested item sticking together in strings, as if caught in a cobweb. If ingested, E. coli infection and other various diseases can be contracted from weevils, depending on their diet."
