Hallo!

Grein/Upper Austria, 20.6.2023, light trapping tower. Exact size is unfortunately not possible, as it was found by chance.
Determination in the https://insektenfotos.de/-Forum. Its so beautiful: is a more accurate determination possible?

Thanks Ira

I think Chaoborus, family Chaoboridae.

Females of the common species of Chironomidae have shorter antennae.
