Chironomus sp.
Similar in size and shape as some mosquitoes. Blueish-green coloration with black stripes on the abdomen. This is a female. Males have feathery antennae. Though they resemble mosquitoes, they do not bite.
Suburban yard (resting on the building).
Tentatively labeling as Chironomus sp. Need help with a positive ID. http://bugguide.net/node/view/331010 http://bugguide.net/node/view/47132
