Yesterday evening on my balcony, attracted by the light. Minas de Riotinto, 11 October 2025. A Ceratopogonid fly I have never seen before. Very small, 1.1 mm, even for Ceratopogonidae. Any idea about its identity? ¡Saludos! André Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [297.43Kb] errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

Looks like another Spanish midge I called probably Forcipomyia (Lepidohelea) pulcherrima. https://diptera.i...d_id=63756 |

Yes, it is a very beautiful tiny fly. Hence its name. Thanks, once again. John. What would I do without you.
