Found sitting on a Sycamore Tree in the garden yesterday...Size about 10mm ish. I know they are hard to ID, but you never know till you ask.

Thank you Gabor...further than I thought it would go....Chironomus on my list are; C.annularis, C.aprilinus and C.salinarius, but I suppose that would require getting the spanners out, so C.sp is good enough for me. Regards Roger Edited by Roger Thomason on 12-06-2009 23:16 |
