I'm just relaying the question of a friend: "I have been looking for a good picture of a gall-midge and found > several like this on Flickr but I want to check if the ident is > correct? Is this a Cecidomyiid?" The legs here look a bit too short, so I'm not sure. What do you think? Jean Leveque attached the following image:  [10.18Kb] |

Cecidomyiidae is correct. There are long-legged and short-legged gall midges, they are morphologically quite variable.
