A very beautiful tiny Chironomid fly on my balcony. May 2, Minas de Riotinto. I hope something can be said about this beauty. ¡Saludos! André Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [299.71Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 05-05-2024 16:46 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

John, it doesn't look exactly like the discription of Goetghebuer (Chironomides de Belgique et spécialmente de la zone de Flandres. Bruselas 1921). Maybe "green" is relative.  But with a bit of flexibility...  And the photos in https://www.gbif.org/ don¡'t fit either with this description. Their colour fit my specimen and are very similar, even taking into account that mine is a female and all the specimens on gbif.org males.Thanks for your extensive knowledge!!!

I don't know how many species of the Tanytarsus signatus species group are in Europe or how variable the individual species are. Here is a similar American fly: https://bugguide....ew/1974944. |

I edited while you were posting your message. Yes, the female of Bugguide is 'mine', or a sisterspecies.
