Bug of the Day

Whoops, accidentally slept through Fly Day Friday and did not post this! This is a very cool-patterned midge, probably Psectrotanypus dyari.

Bug of the Day

I’m celebrating Fly Day Friday with a midge I can actually identify to species! This amazingly-patterned midge is Stenochironomus hilaris. Tiny and fierce!
