Hello, 68190 - Ungersheim (France) - May 14, 2013 About 11 mm long in a swampland. Is it possible to say more about it. Regards Michel EHRHARDT Michel attached the following image:  [150.26Kb] Edited by EHRHARDT Michel on 24-07-2013 19:54 |

The color suggests Chironomus (Camptochironomus) but all I'm confident in saying is female Chironomini. A closer look at the top of the head and the pronotum (immediately above and behind the head) could help ID. |

The head is hidden under the thorax from this angle. |

Chironomus, could be Chironomus tentans. |
