I have no definite Simuliidae image, let alone a high quality one. I also do not remember any thread on this family, but I have one candidate from this spring Hungary. Do you think this small midge could belong to Simuliidae or maybe to another family. Unfortunately I have no lateral view. Edited by Xespok on 07-07-2006 23:01 |

Now I remember that I have a confirmed Simuliidae image, but also low quality. This one is from my 2005 New Zealand trip. These sand flies were a major nuiscence. Unfortunately for this size reange one really has to posess a SLR camera with some high quality macro lense. |

short antennae and wide wings, really, but the second seems different to me  |

Second image is from New Zealand, completely different species. Is one of the infamous black flies that makes life difficult there. The second one is a black fly for sure. |

Sorry for my tardy reply (I was in the field trip). I've shot these flies near St.-Petersburg (Russia): double photo at June 6, 2005, and other at August 15, 2006 (this year was very fruitful for these creatures  ). |

I think that I was bitten by 2 different species on the 3rd photo (and on the 4th photo, seen on the fuzzy background). Isn't it? |
