Female Chironomidae (Midges) True Fly Adult Pictures

Classification
Kingdom Animalia (Animals)
» Phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods)
» Class Insecta (Insects)
» Order Diptera (True Flies)
» Family Chironomidae (Midges)
 This midge and several like it, including a male I also photographed, hatched from larvae which were living in some fine mud I'm using as substrate in my bug-rearing aquarium. This one flew away before I could photograph it on the ruler, but it would have measured slightly smaller than the male.

This true fly was collected from the northeastern United States on April 10th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com on April 10th, 2007.
