The humped thorax and general shape reminds me more of a Simuliidae than a mosquito. |

We also thought that it could by a Simuliidae (my sister and I), but the antenae has more then 11 lids, so it can't by a Simuliidae. We thought at many genus, but mayby its to must changed to get any ID, but I thought I give it a try....  Greating Joke javanerkelens attached the following image:  [93.85Kb] |

I think this looks more like Ceratopogonidae
