Fungus Gnat
Mycetophila fungorum
59.0806, 9.65142
Field Notes
Description:
Fungus gnats are somewhat similar to mosquitoes, but if you look closely, they lack the long, straight sucking proboscis that biting mosquitoes have. Most of the fungus gnats have a large swollen chest area, the head is small and is attached far down the front of the chest, so that the fungus gnat looks hunchbacked. The species are more or less brown-yellow in colour.
Habitat:
Attracted by the light in a front porch.
Notes:
Norwegian name: Soppmygg
