This Limoniidae is from Voorthuizen, the Netherlands. Can someone help me identify it? It has a yellow and black striped thorax.

This is Dixidae, not Limoniidae.

In North America first flagellomere cylindrical (vs. slightly fusiform) indicates
Dixella.
First flagellomere cylindrical, rarely slightly fusiform, katepisternum bare =
Dixella
First flagellomere slightly fusiform, katepisternum commonly with setae =
Dixa or
Meringodixa
