Chironomidae (Midges) True Fly Adult Pictures

 One of the only real benefits I've got from my rearing aquarium so far is that I've had quite a variety of midges emerge, giving me a chance to photograph these fragile little insects which are otherwise really hard to transport in photogenic form. This one recovered from being gassed and flew away before I could photograph it on the ruler, but it was very small, around 1.5mm.

This true fly was collected from the northeastern United States on April 23rd, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com on April 25th, 2007.
