I like chizzywinks most, what do you call them?
We have already seen these early this year. As always, our goal is to research and control, not to eradicate! They serve an important ecological purpose.
Looking forward to the 1st annual Midge Festival!
Midges - What are they?
They're the bugs that anyone near Lake Erie loves to hate. So what exactly are these little insects, and do they provide any benefits to nature or the area? ...

This photo was taken last year by a local man here in Klamath Falls, near upper Klamath Lake. What you see here is the adult stage of the midge meeting and breeding! They don't live long. The adult stage midges don't eat or bite - the nymph stage (which is aquatic) is the stage that feeds. And they were not introduced to control mosquitos.
Do you have any pics?! Comment below!

Living in the Basin, you'll be familiar with these little green bugs. They're a nuisance, and we have learned to co-exist (they win) every year. It doesn't have to be that way! Klamath Midge Control is leading the way to reduce that green nuisance in the most economically friendly ways, encouraging tourism and quality of life in Klamath!
Getting answers: What do you do when the midges attack
Every evening, when the sun starts to set, the little green bugs come out to play.
