About 5 mm. I think the mosquito is drinking a drop of dew on the underside of a leaf.
What can be?
In the Suarez Pond wetland. In Motril, Granada, Spain
A greeting and thanks for your help to identify it.

Not really a Mosquito, though antennae seems to look like nematocerous. They posses an apical long arista...
Change your title to Hybotidae to attract specialists.
so long,

Little chance to get any further than
Platypalpus without an actual specimen.

Much obliged, Paul. That's something, hear Platypalpus.
I guess the real model will have flown far away to see it more closely ....
Thanks and regards
