Hi together,

is this midge Chironomidae sp. ?

Found yesterday at Ehingen (W-Germany)
near by a little fount in deciduous woodland.

Length 1,3mm

Thank you
Ralph

I caught some Chironomids yesterday as well, a few males and females of a small and very hairy species. Unfortunately I can not photograph them, but I am wondering how many species are flying at this time of year?
