This is a chocolate midge (Forcipomyia). It’s tiny tiny tiny, but greatly feared for it’s nasty bites. Anyway, it’s crucial for cacao pollination, therefore: Thank you, Chocolate Midge! No bigger than the size of pinheads, midges seem to be the only creatures that can work their way into the intricate flowers of the cacao tree to pollinate.
