This was taken today Jan 1 2019 southern England, Swindon, Wiltshire. It is approximately 3.5mm long with 2mm wing length. I have keyed it to Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae, Metriocnemus, Thienemanniella at which point my confidence ran out. Could I ask for some help with this please. Thanking you in advance.

My apologies I couldn't find ocelli and therefore chose the wrong couplet in Stuart Balls and Oosterbroek key, correspondingly went the wrong way. I've been made aware it is a Mycetophilid, still more learning to achieve. Edited by Marc Taylor on 02-01-2019 00:26 |
