Went down to the lake and fed midges to the bold jumping spiders living in the railing by the pool. °OO°

Two species of no-biting midges. Same family. Separated an estimated 165 million years ago.
Time is deep. Life is vast.

I'm playing " #Chironomidae (Non-biting midges)" on #DuoNat — can you tell Psectrotanypus varius vs Paratendipes albimanus apart? #iNaturalist

#FlyFriday × #DailySpiderPic: a male non-biting midge (family Chironomidae) falls prey to a minuscule juvenile jumping spider. Male midges' plumose (literally, feather-like) antennae are used for sensing females.

Went down to the lake today and found several zebra jumping spiders (_Salticus scenicus_) feasting on the midges (_Chironomus_ sp.) that are beginning to emerge!
⚠️ WARNING: first pic in particular is alarmingly cute, prepare yourself

I just spent three nights camping at #BirdLife Australia's #Gluepot Reserve in the #mallee of #SouthAustralia.
Tenperatures were reaching 37/38 C, and it's very dry there. The reserve has a small dam, but no other open water. The #MurrayRiver is about 40 km to the south.
But the #insects that appeared at night were primarily #freshwater species - lots of #CaddisFlies (#Trichoptera), #Chironomidae and #BackSwimmers (#Notonectidae).
This video shows the insects attracted to a #LepiLED UV light. If these mostly originated down at the river, the insect #biomass streaming up across this region (wind-blown?) is absolutely staggering.
There were also LOTS of #microbats everywhere, and the stars were incredible.

This fancy fellow flew by for a visit on my leg.

A little #ArthroBeauty for #FlyFriday! At this time of year down by the water, the air is filled with swarms of non-biting midges (family Chironomidae), often flying around while mated. In this picture the one on the left is male; his fluffy antennae help him pick up females' pheromones.
