Abstract

Adult midges (Chironomidae: Diptera) were recorded at experimental ponds during all months. Data from 13 years were combined by months. Submerged traps yielded 50 species. Other methods of collecting obtained 15 additional species. Traps in 12 similar 0.1-ha ponds beside a permanent slow-flowing supply-canal yielded 45 species. Traps in a 1.95-ha pond that lacked such a canal yielded 15 species.
