 Some Ceratopogonidae suck blood from meloid beetles. This Meloe violaceus was severe damaged after my dog stepped on it on a forest path. In minutes small midges appeared and started to pierce the beetle, some through its sick pronotum. Is Atrichopogon a good ID?

 Yes, Atrichopogon is the right genus. The subgenus will be Meloehelea.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
