Hi! These ones are pictures I took on the beginning of March near the Alps (at an altitude of 1000 m). All these pictures were taken while I was walkin' on a snow path. This is the first one...I haven't been able to identify even the family. olaffio attached the following image:  [68.54Kb] ___________ Stefano ___________ |

Now the second one. I think the genus could be Trichocera, but is it possible to know the species? olaffio attached the following image:  [89.56Kb] ___________ Stefano ___________ |

Another picture of a subject similar to the last one, but without the "hairy" antennas. Is it the same species or something different? Thanx in advance

Second is subfamily Diamesinae. In North America the common winter midges are Diamesa. I can't tell genus from the photo. |
