 Quite numerous around our house the last few days, these Chironomid like midges with thick (or 'double'Wink antennae.

Are they Chironomidae?

Thank you in advance.

Nikita is right this specimen belongs to the family Ceratopogoindae.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
