Hi, I believe it's Chironomidae, but I am not sure. I saw a few threads of the subject, but I couldn't tell Chironomidae or Chaoboridae. Please fill me in  Georgsdorf, Germany, 2007-06-18, Moor area, app. 12 mm Andre Jas attached the following image:  [87.75Kb] Andr? Jas |

Hi Andre This is Chironomidae - here's a couple of links to Chaoboridae. http://www.dipter...post_13638 http://www.dipter...#post_6543 If the basitarsus (=metatarsus) of the fore-leg is as long or longer than the tibia, then it's Chironomidae . If it's shorter, it could be all sorts of things (including Chironomidae  )

Hi Tony, Just saw your reaction. Somehow missed it. I see what you mean. So Chironomidae it is. And I guess that's as far as it gets? Thanks a lot
