I think this is Chaboridae. Can anyone give it a name? From central lowland France (la Brenne), 1 September 2008, swept from a mown haymeadow, 8mm. Susan R Walter attached the following image:  [42.19Kb] Edited by Susan R Walter on 16-11-2008 16:17 Susan |

Based on Gabor and Walter's comments on my other post, this one will presumably be a Chironomid too.

Yes, Chaoborids also have much shorter forelegs. See them here or in my gallery.
