It looks for me like a ovopositing midge. Is family and genus ID possible? The pictures were taken in August 2004 in Germany, Saxony, Chemnitz. Thanks, Marion. Marion Friedrich attached the following image:  [108.47Kb] Edited by Marion Friedrich on 31-10-2009 22:11 |

I think this is a just hatched (teneral) Chironomid midge. A maile with folded antennae. Thus ,probably it is not ovopositing.
