		Making the Case against the biting midge: evidence is building that the biting midge, Culicoides sonorensis, is a vector of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), which causes significant economic losses in cattle, horses, and swine.

	Trees for Life - Species Profile: Highland biting midge
		Midges do not generally disperse far from their breeding grounds, although they can be carried a kilometre or more in gentle breezes.
		As a haematophagous parasite, the midge has a significant effect on the animals it preys upon, and in the summer, for example, red deer are forced to move up to high ground to avoid being bitten.
		For the summer months of the midge season, this miniscule insect, by dint of its biting habit and sheer numbers, is a dominant factor in life out of doors in the Highlands, causing significant changes to human behaviour.

		Midges are not new to Scotland - they have been found in 75 million year old amber and have, more recently, been described in literature detailing Bonnie Prince Charlie's encounters with 'mitches' whilst hiding in the hills after the Battle of Culloden.
		A key factor in the success of the midge in an environment where blood meals might be few and far between, is the fact that the females lay their first batch of eggs without requiring a bloodmeal.
		On close inspection, the midge is a fascinating insect - with a range of behaviours related to mating and courtship; and a highly sensitive olfactory system that allows it to home in on the chemicals released in sweat and breathing from a host.

	Utah On The Fly- Entomology-
		The midge life cycle is similar to that of the caddis: they live as larvae, are buoyed to the surface as pupae, emerge and deposit their eggs as adults.
		It is difficult to determine exactly which species of midges are being imitated, and patterns in general are not as species specific, except in size, as are those of mayflies and stoneflies for example.
		The midge's small size and the selective feeding by large fish that frequently occurs during a midge hatch demands all the skills of the flyfisher.

	Midges * Albawest
		Midges thrive wherever there is moist vegetation, in bogs, wet moor-land and even on rotting seaweed, it being necessary for the pupa and larva to remain moist or they will die.
		Midges tend to group near water, or at least they are at their most numerous near shorelines and riverbanks, but again there are so many of them that you will meet them almost everywhere.
		The midges are also thought to be partly responsible for the migration of deer herds, as they move to higher ground in summer to escape the plague, and then return to lower ground as the midges die out.

		Gall midges (family Cecidomyidae) are so named because many of their larvae cause and live in plant galls; some of these midges may feed on plants without causing galls.
		In the life cycle of some gall midges, as well as some nonbiting midges, larvae are capable of producing larvae.
		This process is termed paedogenesis; it may continue until overcrowding causes the midges to revert to the normal four-stage cycle.
