Lake side in Wetland Kerkini Northern Greece. Very common, a large species more than 1cm body length. Could it be Chironomus tentans?

Another photo, I think the same species.

Certainly looks like Chironomus, but we need a really good male genitalia pic to confirm species

Hi Gordon - looking forward to the next batch (when I get a spare moment!). No. I don't know any active chironomid expert who is short of material to work on. You could try asking on the Entomol listserv. Cheers Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |
