 Oryctes : France : Villeneuve-d'Ascq : 59650 : 01/08/2023 Altitude : 22 m - Taille : 6 mm environ Réf. : 327870 Hello, I found this little insect at the beginning of August. It was on a mint leaf by a lake in Villeneuve d'Ascq (North of France). I think it belongs to the Chironomidae family and, on LMDI site, I am suggested Tanypus genus for this insect. Do you think it can actually be this genus ? And can or not a species be considered ? Thanks in advance. Dominique |
