| Jul 28, 2017 at 8:12 | comment | added | arboviral | A little - but unfortunately probably not enough, I'm afraid! Based on the activity period, size and photos I had been wondering if it was a biting midge (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) of some sort - take a look at some sample photos here: padil.gov.au/maf-border/pest/main/140521/49023 - but I'm now much less confident about that; the head looks too big and I can't see the distinctive antennae. | |
