Hello everyone
This one is so very similar, except for the color, to Sciara analis, that I guess it is a Sciara. What surprises me is the size : I thought all Sciaridae were small, but this one is a good 8 mm, I would say. Any suggestion ?

As this is a female, it cannot be identified, but I would add that many sciarids are quite large, particularly in the genera Sciara and Trichosia.
