This mosquito (at least looks like one to me...) was photographed by Narc?s Rubio at Girona, Catalonia last march. Does anyone know anything about its possible id? Thanks in advance, Aleix Comas aleix attached the following image:  [79.12Kb] Edited by aleix on 24-07-2007 20:39 |

Hello, Aleix! Not Culicidae, but Chironomidae (characteristic attitude of the forelegs). Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Thanks very much! There are not many photos of Chironomidae, so I guess it must be a difficult subject! Cheers, Aleix |

Hello, aleix! aleix wrote: There are not many photos of Chironomidae, so I guess it must be a difficult subject! There are about 1000 Chironomidae species here in Central Europe alone. Don't know how many in the south. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
