Pictures of 1 Midge Specimen in the Genus Rheotanytarsus:

Rheotanytarsus Midge LarvaRheotanytarsus Midge Larva View 6 PicturesThis peculiar midge lived in a case tightly fixed to a rock, with several others of its kind. The case seems to be made of tiny grains of sand. I'm not sure what the function is for the little lines sticking out the front, because they aren't legs.
