hi flyforum,

Yesterday I found this ~5mm specie on my balcony.
I have seen such a fly last year but I can not remember what kind of fly is was..
So, I ask you for some help..
Do you have any idea about this family?
And it would be great if you can tell what specie this is :D

greeting, Robert

Or rather Chironomidae?

Hi Robert,

Sorry for the confusion, J?rgen and Paul are right, it is a member of the family Ceratopogonidae.
