 Oryctes : France : Villeneuve-d'Ascq : 59650 : 21/05/2023 Altitude : 21 m - Taille : 3 mm environ Réf. : 333606 Hello, I found this little Chironomidae on a Typha latifolia leaf at the edge of a pond. It was in May of this year in Villeneuve d'Ascq (North in France). I think it is a female of the genus Cricotopus. In terms of species, could it be the species Cricotopus bicinctus since I see two light areas well defined on the abdomen ? Thank you in advance for your opinion. Best regards, Dominique |

There are several similarly-colored species of subgenus Cricotopus. |
