hi, see CULICOMORPHA - Chironomoidea (less veins at the wing apex) --- Chironomidae http://www.dipter...to_id=5828 --- Ceratopogonidae http://www.dipter...to_id=3730 - Culicoidea (more veins) --- Culicidae http://www.dipter...to_id=5888 --- Chaoboridae http://www.dipter...to_id=5894 The body is more similar between Chiro and Chaoboridae, but wing venation is very similar between Culicidae and Chaoboridae

Thanks Pacqui and Tony - ahh Tony - you will be surprised at how many Ephydrids I caught yesterday - half a dozen yellow pans floating at the edge of the lake for a couple of hours - many repeats but still a few species I expect. Still you will see in June or July. Have you finished the book yet?
