Asian long-horned head Diptera Chironomidae known. Worldwide distribution across the major areas. The world's known 5,000 species. Very common for a class, the large number of fish in fresh water ecological balance and cause of significant insect. Small to medium. General shape and mosquito (Culicidae) are similar, more slender fragile, but the shape is similar to the type and mosquitoes, is more sturdy. Diverse body color, white, yellow, light green, black range, may have a distinct stain. Body does not have scales. Head is relatively small, well-developed compound eyes, small eyes have hairs can be generated between the surface. No monocular. Degradation of the handle section, a few tentacles are not visible; stem section developed, spherical; whip section filaments. Mouthparts degradation. Ovoid or oblong, white, yellow, brown or red, often the birth of dozens to hundreds of particles embedded in the resin particles, the formation of glial long belt or into a block. Larvae light, some species due to hemoglobin and body fluids containing blood was red. Slender body, similar to the thickness of the body section. Not a few adult midges feeding, or feeding a small amount of liquid containing sugar. Strong phototropism night, lamp common. Marriage habits often fly after emergence, National Cheng Kung University male adult population base in the early morning or evening flight, females are attracted into the base line after mating, usually in a few seconds to complete. Female life generally produce only one egg, directly produced in the water, or eggs with glial adhesion on aquatic plants. From the egg stage ranging from several days to several weeks, but most species the egg stage is very short. Larvae occupy the entire life cycle of most of the time, ranging from 2 weeks to 4 years, usually 4 to 5 months.
