Hello List, This small (2-3 mm) chironomid is rather conspicuously marked. Is it unrealistic to hope for at least a genus ? I have noticed that there are very few pictures of chironomidae in the gallery, so I guess they are tricky... Heron, Belgium, October 9th. Attracted by light. Thaks for your suggestions. Philippe Philippe moniotte attached the following image:  [85.6Kb] A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. |
