I caught these two in the act :-) I suspect there isn't much for a proper ID, but can you tell me if I got the family right? Looks like Culicidae to me, based on what I've seen in other photos, the one in focus being the male. UPDATE: changed title to Ceratopogonidae after Xespok's reply. * locality: Crete, Greece * date: 13 January 2008 * size: ~3mm * habitat: small artificial pond in countryhouse garden * substrate: Nymphaea leaf  (Click here for a bigger version of the photo) Edited by markop on 01-03-2008 11:56 |
