 SW France last night. Attracted to the light. 2 - 3 mm long.

It looks like a female Cricotopus to me, but all I have seen up to now have bicoloured legs unlike this one with its dark legs.

Another genus ?

 Could be Cricotopus. Some species have dark legs.

 Not all Cricotopus have bicoloured legs. I think this is probably a Cricotopus female, but there are other Orthocladiinae that can look very similar - finding a male is usually the best idea!

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.
