- often very small, slender - spastic squirming action (see text) - size range: 1/8" - 1/2"
Midge larvae are often a distinct red color, though they can also be brown or even whitish in color. The best way to identify these larvae is by their small size and spastic squirming action. Note: These are very small, slender organisms, so watch your seine closely and make a point of inspecting leaves and other debris which may be present.
