Hi, At the moment I have no idea what this is. It has very long antennae and peculiar front legs. Seen on a lake east of Berlin last weekend. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [160.39Kb] |

So this is my first caddisfly, obviously a Black Dancer (Mystacides cf. nigra/azurea). And the curved hairy organs are not the front legs, but the maxillar palps. I might have guessed it. Many thanks, friends - learning makes me happy! |
