Found on a tree trunk in winter (16 February 2006). Length, 2.0 mm. West Virginia USA. With such long antennae and light-colored wings, I am thinking Cecidomyiidae, is this correct? Thanks in advance for any ID help! Stephen attached the following image:  [56.18Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

You should be thinking Sciaridae.

Darn! I looked at Sciaridae but decided with the light-colored wings Cecidomyiidae was more likely.

FYI: Not every dark-winged fungus gnat has dark wings.
