With those long tarsi, has to be Chironomidae, right? Wings are wider than usual, and I don't remember seeing a Midge before with this many spots on the wings. Any ideas about subfamily or genus? With the simple antennae and plump abdomen, a female? Help with ID appreciated! Wetland about 0.5 km from the Pacific Ocean. Oregon, USA, 13 May 2007. Length 4.2 mm to the tip of the abdomen. --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Chironomidae, Tanypodinae, probably Psectrotanypus.
