1. Chironomidae

   The Chironomidae (informally known as chironomids, nonbiting midges, or lake flies) comprise a family of nematoceran flies with a global distribution. They are closely related to the Ceratopogonidae, Simuliidae, and Thaumaleidae. Many species superficially resemble mosquitoes, but they lack the wing scales and elongated mouthparts of the Culicidae. The name Chironomidae stems from the Ancient Greek word kheironómos, "a pantomimist".

1. chironomidae

   Chironomidae is a family of small nematoceran flies, also known as chironomids, non-biting midges, or lake flies. There are over 20,000 species identified worldwide, many of which are semi-aquatic in their larval stage. Despite their resemblance to mosquitoes, chironomids do not bite or transmit diseases, and serve as an important food source for a variety of animals. They are also used as bioindicators to assess freshwater ecosystem health due to their sensitivity to environmental changes.
