 Hello there,

Recently taken in my garden in the Netherlands (West), this not so very sharp picture of a tiny funny looking mosquito.

What is it?

Thank you.

 Those very long front legs are characteristic of Chironomidae, so not a biting fly!Smile

 Thanks Tony, I wasn't expecting a full name. "Chironomidae" will do fine. Thanks again.
Best regards,
