 Found at Little Ayre in Muckle Roe, marshy field...It seems to have pretty basic wing veins and odd antennae compared to previous female Chironomids I've seen here. (Maybe an Overly Obese [read FAT] Male? awkward) Or maybe something else?

EDIT; Cecidomyiidae added to headline...Thx..to John Carr TumbsUp

 Thanks John, never even crossed my mind that it would be that...only previous ones I have seen were tiny things by comparison. Obvious now...Frown

A recent Avast update of virus definitions cause a false positive on the site for a trojan. The guilty code was updated but you may have to clear the blocks from Avast.
