I wish I knew My reasons was: 1. Venaition. Too complex. And it seems that M1+2 forked. 2. There are a lot of Chaoborus larvae in my pond. It has to exist imago too... Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

We shill have not Chaoboridae image in Gallery. Well, if nobody confirm or disprove my "Chaoborus" imago, I can offer larvae of Chaoborus for Gallery. Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [44.9Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Nikita, WOW, great picture of the larva! I have no experience with Chaoboridae but it looks to me that you are right. For as far as I can see in the picture, more than 8 veins are reaching the wing margin what would mean, if I have understood correctly, that it is not a chironomid. Jan Willem |

I checked the wing venation on the prepared wing and that seems to be correct for Chaoboridae. I will add them to the gallery later.

Tarsus 1-st segment longer than 2-d - Chaoborus, f and t without dark rings - not Ch. pallidus; Abdomen unicolor, dark grey, f unicolor - Ch. crystallinus, larvae in ponds, where photo of both larvae and imago has beeen made.
