I wonder if someone can help identify this for me. The insect was photographed on a nettle leaf (veination gives idea of scale) near edge of a freshwater lake in southern England at the beginning of May.

Here is another image of same.

Yes, this is Chironomidae Chironominae (Chironomini tribe most probably), but female, so ID is in most times impossible.

Thanks.

I will settle for that - unless someone knows better, of course.
