Non-biting Midge
Family Chironomidae, Stictocladius sp.
-16.5857, 144.787
Field Notes
Description:
Small midge to approximately 4-5mm long.
Habitat:
Riverine habitat, Mitchell River, Brooklyn Conservation Reserve, QLD
Notes:
The midge was very small and it didn't sit still for long, so hard to see details. It flew around but tended to rest in a similar spot. On closer investigation, zooming-in, it had stunning plumose antennae. This individual was identified to genus by Peter Cranston.
