Spring is coming to Portugal! Here is a tiny (biting?) midge I suppose to be from the Simuliidae family. Very few of these in our gallery!

Hi, Bibionidae, Dilophus sp female I think. The spines on forlegs are characteristic to Dilophus. Non-biting.

With the darkened wings I think it must be D. febrilis.

Thank you, Walter and Paul. Do you think it is worth putting the picture in the gallery?
