Wash and fine-sieve mud from the bottom of an arctic lake and you´ll find head capsules of #Chironomid mosquito🦟 larvae. We did so at the #UNIS freshwater course with Simon Belle from #SLU. Some specimen were truly old (~200 y) but 100% intact and are part of a climate story. #Paleo_limnology

This is how the pearl rows in the wing sheaths look like. They are very useful to identify exuviae and pupae of some #chironomid genera (like 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘢) #taxonomy #entomology

Happy #midgeMonday!
A tanypodine #chironomid from a beaver pond just emerged from its pupa. The pupal skin certainly has interesting structures!

Happy #Flyday!
Any #chironomid folks on BlueSky?
This larva seems to have sclerotized structures inside its anal prolegs - I haven't seen that before and wonder if it is of any taxonomic significance.
