Hello,

yesterday I found this midge on our compost box in Hannover, Germany. Is it a Sciara sp. or is it possible to be more precise?

Thank you for answers!

Hans

Sciaridae okay, but I would not think this to be Sciara but I really know little about them.

Thank you very much, Paul!

Kai Heller just told me that it might be Trichosia or Leptosciarella. It is not possible to id by photo.

Best regards, Hans
