Dear Yurika Alexander,

We are two biology students participating in undergraduate research at Delaware Technical Community College. Our research focuses on determining the dietary habits of a maternity colony of big brown bats in South Eastern Pennsylvania. During the course of our research, we have found that their diet includes insects of the family Chironomidae. We would like to request your permission to use your picture on our research poster for a presentation of our results.
Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Kaliopi Bousses, Liedeke Sweitzer

Chironomini
This could be a Microtendipes, but many Chironomini have a dark tip to the abdomen or dark knees. The distinguishing feature of Microtendipes is a tuft of hairs on the fore femur of the male.
