 Hallo!

Grein/Upper Austria, 20.6.2023, light trapping tower. Exact size is unfortunately not possible, as it was found by chance.
Determination in the https://insektenfotos.de/-Forum. Its so beautiful: is a more accurate determination possible?

Thanks Ira

 I think Chaoborus, family Chaoboridae.

Females of the common species of Chironomidae have shorter antennae.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
