	SCAFFOLDS Fruit Journal, May 1, 1995
		Pear leaf midge (Dasyneura pyri) is a gnat-like insect that has been responsible for increasing amounts of damage in Eastern New York pear orchards the past few years.
		The prospects for natural control are uncertain, although two species of parasitic wasps have been recorded from the apple leaf midge.
		Presumably, conventional management practices using insecticides had been controlling this insect, but economically damaging infestations have begun to occur because of either missed or poorly timed sprays, or because of an emerging pesticide tolerance in local populations.

	Midges & other Pests
		In Manatee County, there is an insect most commonly mistaken as a mosquito called the midge.
		The larvae of midges are aquatic, living in the soft organic bottoms of bays, lakes, ponds, even lagoons.
		The intensity of the midge populations seem to fluctuate from year to year probably due to the difference in weather or environmental conditions.

	Field & Stream - The Mighty Midge
		Midge pupae are often the fish’s preferred stage of the insect, because as they’re trying to hatch, pupae drift helplessly in the current.
		Midge pupae are drab and simple, as are most of the flies that imitate them.
		This fly imitates midge larvae and pupae in a general, impressionistic way—great when you don’t know exactly what the trout are taking under the surface, but you know it’s small.

	Trees for Life - Species Profile: Highland biting midge
		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 a food source for insectivorous plants such as sundews ( Drosera spp.
		Midges are crepuscular in their behaviour, meaning that they are most active around dawn and dusk, when light levels are reduced.

	PLANT RESISTANCE TO INSECTS: A FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT OF IPM
		Management tactics used to suppress abundance of sorghum midge include pest avoidance by planting sorghum early and uniformly in an area, destruction of johnsongrass, abiotic and biotic natural control involving indigenous parasites and predators, insecticide use, and use of resistant sorghum varieties.
		Sorghum midge in sorghum: The sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coquillett), is a ubiquitous and serious insect pest of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.
		In the spring, sorghum midges in an area emerge from overwintering before cultivated sorghum is flowering and lay eggs in flowering spikelets of johnsongrass.

	Rose Midge Found in Northern California!
		Rose midge appears to be a native insect to North America.
		The rose midge are mosquito-like in shape and they are 1-2 mm in length (this picture of a closely related species of midge illustrates the relative size of the adult female and adult male in millimeters).
		This type of control is definitely needed in a nursery situation in order to control of rose midge as well as prevent spread of rose midge in infested growing trips or in the soil of potted plants.

	sBMJ Picture Quiz: Know your enemy
		There are 37 known species of biting midges in Scotland, but only one is responsible for up to 90% of the attacks on humans--Culicoides impunctatus, also known notoriously as the highland midge or meanbh chuileag (tiny fly) in Gaelic.
		Midges are attracted to humans via a combination of carbon dioxide and sweat.
		Despite the fact that an individual midge may attack more than one person, the Highland midge is not known to be a vector of blood borne disease in the same way as the mosquito.1

	Midge magnet - Breaking News \| Print \| New Scientist
		The age-old belief that midges bite some people more than others turns out to be true--and it's all down to your sweat.
		This involved measuring the electrical responses of midge antennae, which are covered with 500 sensory hairs.
		The researchers also placed extracts of sweat in midge traps overnight and counted the midges in the morning.

		A study which tested the response of midges to human perspiration suggests that the type of chemicals found in the sweat influences the targets chosen by the insect.
		Biting midges tend to be especially small and typically have a wingspan of less than 2mm across.
		A midge is a tiny two-winged fly related to the mosquito.

		These exciting results have led to the development of India Tree Herbal Insect Repellent for midges and mosquitoes.
		In summer, midges can reach very high numbers and in one study 5 million midges were collected from an area of only two square metres.
		There are 37 species of midge in Scotland, the most voracious of which is the Highland Midge Culicoides impunctatus.

		Seriously - they are not as bad as anyone tells you - use a good DEET based insect repellant properly and you shouldn't have too much bother - if there's a light breeze you might not see any midges at all - they get blown away.

		And because Scottish Enterprise acknowledge the harm midges cause to the tourism industry and other Scottish businesses, the biologists have been granted £150,000 to pursue their theory.

		Those insect species that must complete some part of their lifecycle within cones or seeds are termed "obligate conophyte." A good example of an obligate conophyte is the Douglas-fir cone gall midge (Contarinia oregonensis), the most important cone and seed insect in coastal populations of Douglas-fir.
		Based on sizes of mid-1990's spruce cone crops and associated population levels of the spruce cone moth (Cydia strobilella), this moth is likely a good example of an insect with risk spreading diapause.
		For example, the redcedar cone midge (Mayetiola thujae) regularly consumes all redcedar seeds in some areas; Ponderosa pine cone moth (Cydia piperana) has been credited with destroying 50% of total seeds per cone; and an average of one Douglas-fir cone moth larva (Barbara colfaxiana) per cone will result in a 65% reduction in seed.

		The curled leaves should be examined for thrips as the leaves may be infested with the maggot stage of another insect, the blueberry tip midge (species: Prodiplosis vaccinii (Felt.)).
		The midge (a small fly) causes damage similar to that of thrips, except the leaves are not as tightly curled, not as red, and only leaves at the tip of the plant are curled.
		Thrips feed on leaves and they are found in between curled leaves.

	Managing Insect and Mite Pests of Sorghum
		Because midges lay eggs in flowering sorghum heads (yellow anthers exposed on individual spikelets), damage can occur until the entire head or field of sorghum has flowered.
		Larvae hatch from eggs deposited by a female midge in spikelets of flowering sorghum heads.
		The period of midge susceptibility may last from 7 to 9 days (individual head) to several weeks (individual field) depending on the uniformity of flowering.

		Honeylocust borers can attack and develop successfully only in trees already stressed due to drought, root pruning, disease or other causes.

	Willow Galls, HYG-2006-95
		A gall is any unusual growth of plant cells which have been stimulated by chemicals secreted or injected by an insect, mite, nematode or disease agent.
		However, when the insects or mites mature, the gall dries and the opening is enlarged sufficiently for the pests to escape.
		The gall always has a hole, slit or other opening which is tightly sealed when the young insects or mites are developing.
