 Family CHIRONOMIDAE. 



Known as "Midges," these flies are similar in appearance to the mosquitoes and are 

 often seen towards evening, dancing in the air in large swarms. The wings have fewer and 

 less distinct veins than the mosquitoes and are not fringed with scale-like hairs. Some of the 

 larvae are aquatic, others live on decaying leaves.
