Hello! I know, Chironomidae are normally nearly impossible to ID from a photo, but this male was small (2 mm) but strikingly coloured. It came to the light in our garden last monday (northwest Germany).

I think it´s Chironominae and Tanytarsini, but I can´t follow the key´s items from here (combs of hind tibia); there are Tanytarus with that "pattern" but I can´t dischard other genera, sorry, they are lovely  |
