In mountain regions, climate change is resulting in glacial retreat, causing biodiversity loss in glacial‐fed streams (kryal habitat). Diamesa species (Diptera Chironomidae), the main colonizers of the kryal in the Alps, are the aquatic insects more ...

Haematophagous insects can rely on specialized host‐seeking behaviors to locate hosts. Some frog‐biting flies, for example, eavesdrop on the conspicuous acoustic signals produced by male frogs and toads.

Several genera within the nematocerous family Ceratopogonidae include blood-sucking midges (Fig. 4.1), sometimes misleadingly known as ‘sandflies’, particularly the genus Culicoides in which there are at least 800 decribed species. Culicoides range in size from 1 to 5 mm and, although small, they are fairly robustly built.

Sugar‐feeding status alters biting midge photoattraction
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2015Abstract The biting midge Culicoides sonorensis Wirth and Jones (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) transmits pathogens to both livestock and wildlife. Biting midge surveillance relies heavily on light traps for collection; however, little is known about the light spectra preferences

Culicoides species: The Biting Midges
2022Pesticides are important for protecting agricultural crops against harmful pests. However, pesticide usage has become a serious issue of concern as they cause severe damage to the ecosystem and environment. Organophosphates are one of the most extensively applied insecticides in agriculture.

Insecticidal sugar baits for adult biting midges
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2016Abstract The mixing of an insecticide with sugar solution creates an oral toxin or insecticidal sugar bait ( ISB ) useful for reducing adult insect populations. The ability of ISB s to kill the biting midge

Biting midges (Ceratopogonidae)
1993The Ceratopogonidae form a family of small nematocerous flies, usually less than 3 or 4 mm in length. They are closely related to the Chironomidae, the non-biting midges, but can be distinguished from them by the presence of biting mouthparts in the female, the wing venation and by the short fore legs (Fig. 7.1). They are best known as ′biting midges′ (

Culicoides Biting Midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) of Kenya
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1990The 55 known Culicoides species of Kenya, including the adult females of 52 species and the adult males of 46 species, are described. New taxa described for Kenya include C. isechnoensis n. sp. (subgenus Meijerehelea), C. karenensis n. sp. (similis group), and C. nairobiensis n. sp. (inornatipennis group). Three new species of the C.
