The distinctive position of the front legs made me think of a Chironomidae, but it seemed much larger than all those I've seen so far, about 7/8 mm. Photographed this morning in a pinewood near Rome, Italy.   Thanks, Sarah. |

Typical posture of Chironomidae.

Gues that's what it is then, just didn't think they came that big! Thanks, Sarah. |
