Fuzzy Bill!

Non-biting midge flies or chironomids commonly occur in inland and coastal natural and man-made bodies of water. These midges are commonly known as “blind mosquitoes” because they are mosquito-like but do not bite. Midges are also called “fuzzy bills” because of the male’s bushy antennae!

 

This handsome fella was sunnning himself on a leaf at Hanningfield Reservoir!
