You know I love bugs but I have just returned from a couple of minutes in the garden with 12 new bites and uncharitable thoughts about the entire Culicidae family #invertebrates

Steekmuggen (Culicidae) behoren niet tot ieders favoriete wezentjes. De mannen - herkenbaar aan die prachtig gepluimde antennen waarmee ze vrouwen niet alleen kunnen ruiken, maar ook horen - hebben geen bloed nodig om hun eieren te laten rijpen, dus zij steken niet. #ElkeDagEenInsect

globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

Common midge adults (Diptera: Chironomidae) look kind of like mosquitoes (Culicidae). One big difference is while female mosquitoes require blood meals for egg production, common midges do not. Most don't even need to eat since they live just long enough to breed. Blissfield Michigan, 09 Aug 2025.

Common midge adults (Diptera: Chironomidae) look kind of like mosquitoes (Culicidae). One difference is mosquitoes tend to rest with their hind legs in the air, while midges tend to rest with their front legs in the air. Common midges also do not bite. Blissfield Michigan, 25 Apr 2011.

Weil ich seit gestern die Extremitäten mit Antimück-Zeux einsprühe, stechen die Biester also jetzt in den Rücken.
Well played, Culicidae.
