Another impossible fly, a Culicoides. Found yesterday on my balcony in Minas de Riotinto. And a question for future Culicoides: Are there any species that can be identified with a photo? Or are they all a waaste of time and space?  Thanks!

The wing patterns are useful for ID. You can find wing atlases (photo collections) of Culicoides of some regions. I can not identify European species. I do not know of there is an atlas for southern or western Europe. |

Ok, John! I will try to find an atlas for European species. Or find info about the Iberian Peninsula. Thanks!
