Hello, on 09.07.2018 this midge (body length: 6 mm) visited my flat in Germany, Saxony. Is it possible to determine the genus? Best regards, Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image: [111.83Kb] |

Male Toxorhynchites (note curved proboscis). |

Thank you, John. About 4 minutes before the other images I took this photo, where the proboscis is stretched out. The midge looks quite similar, unfortunately I cannot remember whether it was the same specimen. Marion Marion Friedrich attached the following image: [154.76Kb] |
