This smal Nematocera was found in a lighttrap for butterflies end of May just outside Stockholm Sweden.
I'm not sure where to start looking - is is possible to say what genus (or even species) this is?
Wing about 3 mm

Chironomidae, Tanypodinae, I think tribe Macropelopiini.

Many thanks John for pointing me in the right direction. I have sent photos to a Swedish expert to see if he can see what species it is
