I'm not an expert, but it looks like a Chironomus plumosus.(female) But then the sice is wrong, because the plumosus is about 9 mm. Mayby somebody else knows better or more.... Greatings Joke |

Thanks for your reply, but this one was really only about 2 mm. I have seen members of the genus Chironomus, they were indeed much bigger.

Not Chironomus or Chironominae, this midge belongs to a different subfamily. I have simiar photos, and could not get any appreciable help so far to id them.
