Hi * locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL * date - 2007.04.29 * size - 5 mm (medium fly) * habitat - woodland (many ferns (some small trees..), Fagus spp., Pinus spp., Acacia sp., Urtica sp., and others) * substrate - Caught with entomological net- I think this is chironomid fly - a male.. ps it is really alive.   EDIT ---> Title changed from "male Chironomidae" to " male Chironomidae - Stenochironomus gibbus" There was a slight doubt about gibbus so the title turns now: "green Chironomidae - Stenochironomus cf. gibbus" this is a very young male chironomid. jorgemotalmeida attached the following image:  [191.89Kb] Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 03-05-2007 00:49 |

this seems to be Chaoboridae!

According to Dr. Martin Spies, this is Stenochironomus cf. gibbus - a male (just finished get out from pupa - a very young chironomid). See Green Chironomidae thread to see a very much older male chironomid. |
