Non-biting Midge
BugGuide identified this as a non-biting Midge. I hadn't seen one before but that's just me ;) I find it quite interesting that it has interesting mouth-parts, like two little arms with which I believe it uses to hold it's food while it eats it. It also has these very interesting and quite fuzzy antenna. Cute for a bug - in my opinion and ever better when it's a bug that doesn't bite me!
Taken 29 May 2023 in my yard near Wasilla, Alaska.
