 Hello, last sunday 4th April I found various scattered females of this migde in Juslibol, NE Spain, 200 meters over sea. I usually don't photograph chironomids but I know Paul Beuk have some knowlegde on this difficult family, and the size of this one is very noteworthy so maybe is identifiable.

Many thanks in advance,
Isidro

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
