 Hi everybody,

Promise not to laugh?!
I've seen this little bugger like a million times in and around my house, but I've never ever called it by it's real name. To me it has always been "mosquito". But certainly it's better known as....?

Chironomidae?

Cheers!

 Yes. But reserve the name mosquito to Culicid midges.
