Another one which looks a little bit like a female Chironomid midge, but rather could eaily be something like a male Mycetophilidae.  |

You can tell by the way the fore legs are held, quite charcteristic for Chironomidae, though occasionally you will see others doing the same.

Thx. With this one the hunched-back appeance and the relatively wide abdomen is quite odd. (The wide abdomen actually makes it unlikely that this is a male individual.) |
