Who am i?

Playing with my manual 90mm f2.8 macro lens and snapped this sitting on a fence...there were a few around, near a lake.

Any idea who it is?

Looks like a female Chironomid midge (non biting midge).

They hatch out of aquatic larvae (known as blood worms) at around this time of year. You'll often see swarms of them near water.
The males have larger feathery antennae.

Ah, yes. I think I have some pictures of the males, too.
Think we have a positive ID.

Thanks.
