Ctenophora I think, judging by the feathery antennae, but I don't remember such a yellow one.

Hi,
I believe this must be
Tanyptera atrata male.

Nice gnat Jari! This must be aberrant form of
Tanyptera atrata. I have one similar male, also from Finland. All others are black. ;)

Yes, and the strange thing is that I got four of these yellow males and just one black male. (The black one in the other thread) Both males in the gallery are yellow too and that was confusing, when I tried to find out the name for the black one :|
