Berlin - July 2019
Hello, my Wife found this in the kitchen behind the wall light. I made a few photos to see what it is or could be. I think it is a female Chironomidae species but i'm not sure. I see two mites attached to the hind femur. The primary color is black or dark brown with golden hairs.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time.

Tribe Chironomini. Wing markings suggest
Polypedilum.

Thank you, John. Polypedilum looks right to me. You and Tony are masters of this family. Good work!
edit: someday i will focus on identifying mites. I have too many photos of mites with sp.
