Summary
[edit]DescriptionMale Chironomid non-biting midge (9517511718).jpg | Male Chironomid non-biting midge, resting on the Bay Tree on the patio. These have highly reduced mouthparts, or maybe none at all. The larvae live in the pond and store up enough energy to keep the adults going for the few days they need to reproduce before dying. Obviously they need to find a mate as quickly as possible. So instead of aimlessly flying round the garden looking for each other, the females release pheremones that are picked up by the male's magnificent antennae. |
