Hi, I found this diptera on the wall of my balcony near Bologna, Italy on May 13, 2020 - is the family correct and is it possible to further identify it. Thanks a lot for your help  Franziska mammut attached the following image:  [139.95Kb] Edited by mammut on 30-12-2020 17:08 |

Yes, family is correct, and it's one of the tribe Chironomini, possibly Chironomus sp. John Carr may be able to say more.

The large frontal tubercles suggest Chironomus. |
