Hello! I know that it normally is not possible to determine a Chironomid after a photo. But this one really looks very distinctive  . At light in garden, May-16, northwest Germany. Length about 5 mm.Larger, more dorsal picture: http://www.foto-u...5mm_M2.jpg Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [27.88Kb] Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

My guess is that this is Microtendipes pedellus (as always with chironomids, it's safer to examine genitalia for identification)
