hi flyforum,
What kind of little noisy hairy gnat(?) is this?
It's quite typical with it's black and white wings and strong bristle's on it's back.
Rather ugly..

thank you very much Paul and Tony,
For what I understand Tanypodinae are a subfamily of Chironomidae and the larvae of these Tanypodinae can give a indication for the ecological quality of the water.
