 Hi,

Taking a picture of a Psychodidae (Clogmia albipunctatus ?) through a glass, I was surprised to discover long palps bented below thorax.
Have all Psychodidae such palps ?

 Palp length varies a lot within Psychodidae, but long palps like these are certainly not unusual.

 Thanks Gunnar,
I was quite surprised but it is not easy to see them in situ.
You confirm Clogmia albipunctatus ?
