Gelet op de zeer kleine antennes een vrouwelijke Chironomidae dacht ik zo. Denk ik juist en kan er nog iets gezegd worden over het geslacht? Als aanvulling: vandaag bij koud weer gefotografeerd in de westelijke Achterhoek.

Bij voorbaat veel dank,

Hans

Translation:
Based on the very small antennae I think this is a female chironomid. Am I right and can anything be said about the genus? Additional information: picture taken today in cold weather in the western part of the Achterhoek (eastern Netherlands.

Thanks in advance,

Hans


It certainly is a chironomid. I will not hazard a guess to which one, though.
