A Smidge of a Midge

A Smidge of a Midge

I was photographing the progress of Spring, when I came upon this Salome daffodil with a passenger. It turns out that this is a Chironomidae (midge). Harmless little fellow, of which I'm glad, but obviously a fellow needing a rest. :-)

Thanks for telling us what that bug is called. I've seen them around and never stopped to wonder if they are beneficial. Nice picture!
