Hey
I need help to solve my determination of this Chironomidae larva

The mentum median tooth is one of the Orthocladiinae species
A main characteristic of this larva is the presence of 1 pair od seta tufts on the lateral part of the abdominal segments

The colour of the larva is often pale green with dark pattern

these tufts of seta is almost typical for Cricotopus and the size of it and the color of the larvae makes it Cricotopus intersectus agg.
