Hello,
here is a Chironomus found at home (near a garden) the 10th 03 2022.Size : 10 mm.
Locality : Luçon, middle west of France.

Is it possible to agree the species ?
Thanks by advance.

Christian

It looks darker than Chironomus plumosus but the early spring generation of Chironomidae is often darker than the warm weather form. The genitalia look good for plumosus.
