Chironomidae? I am going almost exclusively on the long front legs, and antennae that seem right for a female midge. Is it possible to narrow the ID further? 28 May 2006, wetland, West Virginia USA. Stephen attached the following image: [68.7Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

Certainly Chironomidae. A Nearctic specialist could probably place it in a genus, but I can't!
