Definition
Any insect belonging to the family Chironomidae, including midges and gnats; a non-biting midge.
Etymology
From Chironomidae (family name) + '-id' (individual member suffix). Named from Greek 'cheir' (hand) referring to the insects' distinctive hand-like antennae.
Kelly Says
Chironomid larvae are crucial aquatic food for fish, and their presence or absence tells ecologists whether a lake is healthy—they're basically nature's water quality report card!
