This Midge looked different to me.

Wow...
Are those forelegs on that midge? That is just the oddest looking one I've ever seen, nice find... maybe one of these:

 
Stenochironomus
Close to Stenochironomus cinctus.

Nice one for me. Thank you John and Gary!

Goodness. I did not realize they were forelegs. Was just looking at the markings on the body that I did not recognize. Charlie Eisemann was there right after I took this picture and he also thought it was unusual.

Hope John Carr sees it!
