Chironomus
Chironomus, also known as non-biting midges, are tiny insects that often fly around water. They are important for the ecosystem because they help break down organic material and are food for many animals.
生息地: Wetlands
The Chironomus is a slender, mosquito-like insect, often green, brown, or black, with delicate wings. Unlike mosquitoes, it has feathery antennae (especially males) and lacks the piercing mouthparts needed for biting.

A single lake can produce billions of these midges, forming huge swarms!
Adult midges never eat; they only live for a few days to reproduce!
Chironomus larvae are called "bloodworms" because they are bright red and wiggly!
They are critical food for many animals, from fish to dragonflies and bats!
Chironomus larvae have hemoglobin because of that helps them survive in low-oxygen water where other insects can't.
Chironomus larvae can tolerate polluted waters because of their adaptable biology that helps them thrive in harsh conditions.
Chironomus adults do not bite because they lack mouthparts, that helps them focus solely on reproduction without feeding.
Chironomus larvae build protective tubes from mud and silk because of that helps them hide from predators.
Chironomus larvae are filter-feeders, straining tiny bits of food from water; adults do not eat at all.
年齢による違い: Larvae are filter-feeders, but adults do not feed at all.
Salmo trutta
Trout actively hunt and consume midge larvae from the benthos.
Anas platyrhynchos
