Chironomidae

There are numerous species of Non-biting midges and identifying individual species is difficult even for experienced recorders. Males are easily recognized by their plumed antennae. Bloodworms, which are the larval stage, can be found in almost any aquatic or semiaquatic habitat. This male was attracted to UV light in a moth trap.
