Very long hindlegs!, obviously.. place: Amsterdam forest date: 15-06-2009 greeting Robert Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [157.73Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 15-06-2009 23:48 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Hi, this is a Chironomid female. Psychodids are fully covered with big fur. |

ok, thank you walter. ''Psychodids are fully covered with big fur'', that's what I was thinking but I imagine this could be some bold one?!

NW European Psychodidae are 'furry', outside that area it may be another matter. Phlebotominae may be hairy, but not necessarily furry, for example.

Not 100% sure, but I think this may be Tanypus punctipennis

Some Sycorax species have been taken in Northern Europe; they are not especially hairy. |
