Hello, 27th October at night attracted to light, on my door outside. Near Lincoln UK. Could it be the same species as the female I got the following night? http://diptera.in...d_id=34566 3 pics Janet

Aaah, I had noticed the mouth parts of the female were not one of a biting midge, but apparently some don't bite or that is what I read. It is still Ceratopogonidae though or not? http://cubits.org... |

Thank you! Now I am stuck for a family.. it's probably one of the sub-families of Chironomidae. http://cubits.org... |
