Hi Mark, thanks for the welcome and the ID Sorry I should have been a bit more detailed! These were found about a week ago in grassland/meadow in Leicester, England. It was caught in a pitfall trap (I'm collecting insect samples as part of my dissertation) Yours, Sam |

The midge belongs to the Cecidomyiidae. |
