I found it today on wett landings and it was about 3 mm long. I am probably wrong.....but could this by a Blephariceridae ??? Or nevertheless a Chironomidae (thats more likely I think) Greatings Joke javanerkelens attached the following image:  [78.92Kb] Edited by javanerkelens on 27-02-2008 23:57 |

I think it's a female ceratopogonid.

Grrr?.I have searched everyhere, except at the Ceratopgonid. I have tried to reduce the lines on the wings.(see the photo), Only the red lines I have doubt about?but perhaps it is something from the flits-light. Many thanks !!! Greatings Joke javanerkelens attached the following image:  [69.93Kb] |

Veins marked with red are veins of the other wing. (Indicateed as CuA1 and CuA2 on your drawing. I also think that this is a Ceratopogonid midge, but mostly based on the shape of head and antennae. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |
